Title:
Comparison of two trainer-oriented training methods and home training on motor performance and quality of life of the elderly with hyperkyphosis.
Background and purpose:
The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare trainer-oriented training and home training on motor function and quality of life of elderly men with hyperkyphosis.
methods:
24 elderly men with hyperkyphosis above 40 degrees were randomly divided into two groups of 12 people. The variables of lower muscle strength, flexibility, static and dynamic balance, degree of thoracic kyphosis and quality of life were measured in pre-test and post-test. Two groups of trainer-oriented training and training at home with the aim of increasing muscle strength, flexibility, balance and quality of life and reducing the size of thoracic kyphosis performed the exercises for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week and 65-70 minutes sessions, in Continue to analyze the data, first, to normalize the data using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and also to compare between groups and within groups, using the one-way variance test with repeated measures, and then using Tukey's post hoc test at a significance level of (p≥ 0.05) was used.
Results:
The results of the present research showed that there is no significant difference in the post-test of muscle strength, static and dynamic balance, the degree of thoracic kyphosis and the quality of life of the elderly with hyperkyphosis, and only in the variable of flexibility, there is a weak significant difference between the coach-oriented training group and the home training group. exist.
Conclusion:
From the results of the current research, it can be concluded that there is not much difference between trainer-oriented training and home training in general, and there is a significant difference in a small number of factors of motor performance.
