Abstract:   (96 Views)
As people get older some may experience reduced mobility and more physical challenges that can affect their quality of life negatively. The research focused on investigating how two different types of training programs sensori-motor and Otago affect the abilities, functional balance and overall well being of men.This study was semi-experimental. This research included 45 men aged 65 to 70 who were selected in an accessible and purposeful and then randomly divided into three groups.. With 15 individuals, in each group, for sensorimotor training group the Otago training group and a control group. Respective exercise groups underwent a total of 24 training sessions done in 8 weeks. To measure abilities and being impact effectively, in this study various assessment methods were used such as Short Physical Performance Battery (SPBB) tests together with time up and go (TUG) evaluations besides implementing SF36 quality of life survey questionnaire. ANOVA and paired sample t-tests were done for data analysis with a significance level set at p≤ 0.05 using SPSS software version 23. The outcomes showed a Significant different, in groups prior and post exercise experimental (p=0.001). Significant variations were noted in the test results when comparing the sensorimotor and Otago groups to the control group at a significance level of p=0.001 for inter group comparisons; whereas no notable variations were observed among the groups during the pre test phase.Both sensorimotor and Otago exercises effectively enhance physical performance, functional balance, and quality of life in elderly men. Since no significant difference was found between the two experimental groups, it can be concluded that either type of exercise can be beneficial for improving these aspects of health in older men.
