Abstract: (176 Views)
Objectives: A set of biological, environmental and psychological factors can affect coordination and Coordination and balance control in the the elderly. The popularity of sport climbing as a rehabilitation program is increasing. The purpose of this study is the effect of indoor rock climbing (based on traversing and upward Bouldering) on the Postural Control indicators of the elderly men.
Materials and methods: The current research design is semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with two experimental groups and one control group, which was conducted on 36 elderly people (age: M ± Sd: 69.17 ± 4.13). The experimental group performed rock climbing exercises based on horizontal displacement traversing and vertical upward displacement for eight weeks and two sessions of 40 minutes each week. Before and after eight weeks, Biodex balance test was performed on the subjects. ed t-test and analysis of covariance were used for data analysis.
Findings: The results of the paired t-test show a significant effect of rock climbing exercises based on traversing and upward Bouldering on all balance indices (P<0.0005). The results of covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the three groups in the overall stability index (ƞ=0.593, P<0.0005, F=26.539), anterior-posterior stability index (ƞ=0.671, P<0.0005, F=28/444) and internal-external stability index (ƞ=0.611, P>0.0005, F=32/816) in the post-test. upward Bouldering group had significantly better scores in postural Control indicators.
Conclusion: horizontal displacement (traversing) at low altitudes challenge the neuro-muscular and balance system less; For this reason, the balance scores in this group have improved less compared to the group of rock climbing exercises based on upward bouldering.
