Summary

A study of the effects of active static stretching exercise in elderly people with poor lower extremity muscle flexibility on autonomic and cardiovascular responses and balance ability.

Conditions

  • Arterial Stiffness
  • Autonomic Nervous System
  • Musculoskeletal Diseases
  • Range of Motion

Interventions

OTHER

Active Static Stretching Exercise Combined with Breathing Exercise (Experimental Group)

Participants in the intervention group performed active static stretching exercises using a pictorial exercise booklet. The booklet contained a series of self-directed stretching postures targeting major muscle groups. Each stretch was held in a static position without external assistance, encouraging the participant to engage and maintain the stretch voluntarily." Each stretch was held for 30 seconds and repeated 3 times per muscle group. The targeted areas included the hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, hip flexors, and shoulders."
