Yoga exercises intervention improves balance control and prevents falls in seniors 65+
Original language description
The objective is to analyze and compare changes in static, dynamic, and total balance scores, changes in body composition and social indices as effects of yoga-based intervention. Methods: A total of 500 participants were assessed using the Tinetti Balance Assessment Tool, and the SF-36 Health Survey. Intervention led to improvements in the static, dynamic and total balance scores in the experimental group compared to the control group. The results of SF-36 showed positive changes in the psychosocial aspects of health, such as promoting of calmness and happiness in male seniors and reducing fatigue, nervousness and depression in female seniors. The post-intervention decrease in body fat percentage and increase in muscle mass in seniors is discussed.
