Postural Control: Changes with Ageing and Exercise

# data[].attributes.body
Positive effects of resistance training, Tai Chi, electromyostimulation and balance training in the elderly.

Preventative measures to reduce falls due to the effects of ageing on proprioception, muscular strength, power and steadiness of force production.

"It appears that exercises that involve coordinative balance tasks, such as balance training and Tai Chi, are most effective in delaying the age-related decline in postural control."

Exercise significantly improved: Body balance, muscle power, walking ability and flexibility in the elderly experimental group vs the control group.

Exercise prescription included calisthetics, body balance exercises, muscle power exercises, walking exercises and flexibility training.

Utilising Gymnastics to Develop and Maintain: Coordination, Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and Agility.

Six Dominant Movement Patterns:

1.  Static Positions - balancing, hanging and support positions.

2. Landings - forwards and backward.

3. Rotations - movement through three axes: sagittal, transverse and longitudinal.

4. Swings - upright and inverted on different apparatus.

5. Spring - basic jumps  from different apparatus.

6. Flight and Height - climbing, mini tramps, beat boards and beam skills.

All Current Gymnastics Related Studies Focus on Children.

Research is needed to see how the prescription of Educational Gymnastics on healthy adults will have an impact on their physiological, cognitive, social and emotional health with a hope of reducing the effects of ageing.
