Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
1. Age between 60 to 70 years old; 2. Getting the score of 24 or higher in the Mental Status test (MMSE); 3. Ability to stand on their feet for at least one minute; 4. Having no damage in the lower limbs; 5. Having no joint dislocation or chronic arthritis problem; 6. Having no resistance training for 2 years.
Exclusion criterion: Having any type of pain in the knee and ankle during training.
The intervention included training in three balance, strength and combined groups. Training was 6 weeks, 3 session per week. Balancing group performed their workouts using the biodex balance system and weight bearing training variable in the form of four 80-second efforts with 50 seconds reset between each attempt. Stability level of the device, from the first to the sixth session was on level 11, from the seventh to the twelfth sessions was on level 8 and from thirteenth to eighteenth sessions was on level 6. Strengthening group did their workout using isokinetic system in the form of isokinetic contractions in both knee and ankle joints, the knee contracture was done in the form of 4 attempts of 8 repetitions with speed of 60 degrees per second, and 60 seconds rest between every effort and the contracture of ankle joint in the form of 4 efforts of 8 repetitions with the speed of 30 degrees per second with 60 second rest between the efforts. The speed of the device from the first to sixth sessions for the knee joint was 60 and for the ankle joint was 30 degrees per second, from the seventh to the twelfth session for the knee was 75 and for the ankle was 45 degrees per second, and from thirteen to eighteen sessions for knee joint was 90 and for the ankle was 60 degrees per second. All contraction in both joint were concentric. Combined group did their exercises using the biodex balance system and isokinetic system which were in the form of %25 balance training and %75 strength training. Balancing exercises included one 80-second effort and strengthening training in knee joint included three efforts of 8 repetitions with the speed of 60 degrees per second and 60 seconds rest between each effort, and in the ankle joint was in the form of three attempts of 8 repetition with the speed of 30 degrees per second and 60 second rest between each effort and increase of the stability of the balancing system and the speed of isokinetic device in sessions was the same as balancing and strengthening groups. Combined training group, first performed balancing exercises and then strengthening exercises in each session.
