CO15 Flexibility in Water and on Land over 50 Years

The adaptations of the human body resulting from aging process especially loss flexibility can increase risk falls. purpose this study was to give task-oriented training over 50 years patients in water and on land compare their flexibility. Our performed Zala county (Hungary) 2019. A total 20 received progressive for 60 minutes, three times a week, 12 weeks. They were randomly divided into an in-water group (avarage age:64.7±6.15,90% woman) on-land age:64.7±3.02,100% woman). Individuals recruited local community via open invitations. At entry, none them had limited mobility (walking requiring use walkers or canes). Exclusion criteria severe vestibular, auditory, visual impairment; unstable cardiopulmonary disease; operation past six months. Upper (Back Scratch Test) lower limb (Chair sit Reach) assessment tests measured. Using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 22 program, descriptive mathematical statistics (two-sample paired t test) calculated (p<0.05). In right side Back Test, there significant growth (p<0,0062), (p=0.0055), while left did not have change (p>0.05). Based results Chair Sit Reach test, extremity only improved within significantly, with leg (p=0.003) (p=0.004). Although test showed greater improvement group, be justified effect flexibility, regardless whether it land. Exercise minimize harmful effects improve functionality, which reduces likelihood accidents.
