Abstract

[Purpose] This study aimed to consider the influence of a three-month video exercise program on the physical function of older females. [Participants and Methods] Nineteen older females (aged 72.9 ± 3.64 years) participated in this study. We formed two groups-an experimental group that exercised (n=9) and a control group that did not exercise (n=10). Our study's exercise program focused on leg training. We conducted physical and cognitive tests before and after the program to determine the effects of the exercise program. [Results] The results of the second physical (post-intervention) test showed that the exercise group recorded significant improvement in the one-leg balance test with eyes open. However, no improvement was observed in cognitive function. [Conclusion] The static balance capacity of the exercise group improved. Thus, the three-month video exercise practice was effective for physical function improvement.
