This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This study will evaluate an ongoing, progressive "balance" program and a traditional community-based fitness program in the elderly. Initial sessions in the progressive program focus on center of gravity in static and dynamic situations, on the different sensory systems involved in balance, and the muscle groups that are most likely to need work. Participants are introduced to the concepts of stability, speed, and agility throughout the program. Anecdotally, this program appears to result in better functional improvements and better retention and interest than the traditional exercise program for the elderly. Preliminary information on strength, balance and function of participants completing these programs is necessary to justify further study.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 这项研究将评估一项持续的、渐进的“平衡”计划和一项针对老年人的传统社区健身计划。渐进式课程的初始课程重点关注静态和动态情况下的重心、涉及平衡的不同感觉系统以及最可能需要锻炼的肌肉群。在整个计划中，向参与者介绍稳定性、速度和敏捷性的概念。有趣的是，与传统的老年人锻炼计划相比，该计划似乎能带来更好的功能改善、更好的记忆力和兴趣。有关完成这些项目的参与者的力量、平衡和功能的初步信息对于证明进一步研究的合理性是必要的。
