Opis (eng)

Abstract: This research aims to collect relevant studies related to the effects of physical activity on the balance of older adults.The objective of this study is to determine the impact of physical activity on the balance of older adults. To collect data on the effects of physical activity on the balance of older adults, the following electronic databases were utilized: PubMed/Medline, PEDro, SCIndex, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, journals in the field of sports sciences, as well as relevant literature that could address the research question. The following keywords were used during the search: Exercises of balance, proprioception, exercise in the water, balance of the elderly. It was concluded that multidimensional exercise has a positive influence on the balance development of older adults. Proprioceptive physical activities have the most significant impact on balance control among older adults. Research on aquatic exercises indicates that lower body water-based or land-based exercise programs contribute to balance improvement. High-intensity strength training can safely and effectively strengthen the lower limb muscles, leading to significant enhancements in balance and a reduced risk of falls among older adults. In summary, physical activity has numerous positive effects on preserving the health and quality of life of older individuals. Future studies should be well-designed and provide detailed and precise reports.
