Description
Summary:Background There is impairment in maintaining balance while doing activities of daily living in aging individuals due to deterioration in the sensory, cognitive, and musculoskeletal systems. The positive effects of aerobic and resistance exercise in older people have already been established. Nowadays, researchers are stressing over the importance of multicomponent exercise programs where a combination of exercises like aerobic, resistance, and balance and coordination exercises, etc., was used. Purpose The present review summarizes the effects of concurrent exercise training (aerobic + resistance) and multicomponent exercise programs on balance, fear of falling, and muscle strength in older adults. Methods MEDLINE (accessed by PubMed) and Web of Science (Web of Science Core Collection) were searched using a combination of keywords. Results The result in a majority of the included studies showed positive improvement in balance, fear of fall, and strength of muscles. Improvement in muscle strength is more evident when subjected to resistance exercise training alone than concurrent training. Conclusions Multicomponent exercise training program when compared with concurrent training is more effective in improving balance, fear of fall, and muscle strength in older adults.
