Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of 12 weeks of two combined turning training and combined balance training protocols on static balance, dynamic balance, gait, turning, stair negotiation, quality of life and the fear of falling of the elderly.
Design
A comparative quasi-experimental study with two intervention groups, with parallel, randomized groups, on 40 elderly men
Settings and conduct
Participants in the study included 40 healthy elderly people who are selected as a sample using purposeful method and they are assigned into two turning and balance training groups randomly (n=20). Each group performs the relevant exercises for 12 weeks and 3 sessions of 60 minutes per week in the Sardaran Sports Complex located in Khorasgan belonging to education area 6 of Isfahan.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Having age 60 or older, Lack of regular physical activity, Functional independence and the ability to perform daily life activities. Exclusion criteria: Mental disorders, Acute heart-respiratory diseases, acute joint diseases, hypertension and paralysis of a part of the body.
Intervention groups
First intervention group: balance training group - take part in a 60- minute balance training program of 3 sessions per week, lasting for 12 weeks (Exercise based on balance challenges to improve balance function). Second intervention group: turning training group - take part in a 60- minute turning training program of 3 sessions per week, lasting for 12 weeks (Exercises based on turning movements to improve turning function).
Main outcome variables
Static balance, dynamic balance, gait, turning, stair negotiation, quality of life, fear of falling

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random allocation is done using a table of random numbers. To use the random number table, the framework of the statistical community is first specified and according to the two-digit statistical population, two-digit codes are given to the participants. The researcher accidentally starts moving from one point in the table to the left of the table. The point is selected by closing the eye and placing the tip of the pen on the table. Even numbers are considered for intervention group one and Odd numbers are considered for intervention group two.

Intervention groups

1

Description
First intervention group: balance training group - take part in a 60- minute balance training program of 3 sessions per week, lasting for 12 weeks (exercise based on balance challenges in static positions, including different types of standing on one leg, two legs, weight transfer in different directions, on stable and unstable surfaces and dynamic situations include a variety of weight transfer movements with a change in base of support, a variety of walks in different conditions and paths, and a step movement in different directions) to improve balance performance in challenging situations for the elderly, including standing, walking, turning and stair negotiation and preventing falls in these situations.
