Alternative physical exercises to improve the balance in older adults

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop alternative physical exercises to improve balance in older adults of the Ernesto Guevara Grandparents Circle of the San Justo Sports Complex. Twenty-six older adults were selected as a sample. The analysis-synthesis, document analysis and systemic-structural-functional methods were used as theoretical methods. From the empirical level observation, pre-experiment and surveys. From the mathematical statistical level the percentage calculation. The results obtained showed that 82.65% of older adults improved their balance, which corroborates the feasibility of alternative physical exercises for their introduction into social practice.
