Abstract: (1243 Views)
Background and purpose: The purpose of this research was the effect of a training course of walking forward and walking backward on some inflammatory factors and physical fitness of elderly women.
Method: For this purpose, 24 elderly women (60-75 years old) were divided into three groups: walking forward, walking backward, and the control group. Two groups, walking forward and walking backward, exercised three times a week for eight weeks with an intensity of 14-15 according to Borg's scale. Before and after the exercise training, anthropometric measurements of the subjects including: age, height, weight and body mass index, as well as pre-tests of muscle strength, muscle endurance and blood sampling (for analysis Biochemistry) was done. ANOVA test with repeated measurement was used to compare the mean of the data. Calculations were done using SPSS version 23 and the significance level of the tests was considered as p ≤ 0.05.
Results: The results indicated that walking backwards significantly increased muscle strength and endurance compared to the control group and walking forwards. But it did not cause a significant change in the levels of TNF-α, TGF-β and VDBP.
Conclusion: It seems that doing the walking backwards can have a greater effect on performance indicators in the elderly than walking forward and can play a more effective role in creating a healthier life for them.
