N2  - Background: Community-basedinterventions show a decrease in morbidity according to falls and interventionscovering exercise and home safety measures were superior to solve educationalactivities. The aim of this study is to evaluate theeffect of a 12-week balance, strength and aerobic training on balance andconditional tests in people aged 55 years and over.Material and Methods: Thestudy was performed in a primary health care center in Antalya, South-Turkey. Asample of 199 patients have been invited. After randomization, the interventiongroup received instructions about the falls prevention and endurance, strength,balance and flexibility training. Patients were counseled once a week and supportedmonthly with a elastic band(according their level of strength). Twomeasurements with Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale (FAB), Balance EfficacyScale (BES), Health and Activity Questionnaire (HAQ), of the Falls PreventionProgram; and physical condition measurements have been performedResults: The number ofparticipants both in the intervention and control groups were 73; however, 7patients from the intervention group and 9 patients from the control groupdropped out before the lass evaluation at the 12th week. The scores of FAB andBES, the Chair Stand Test Repetition Frequency, Chair Sit and Reach Test, Back ScratchTest, Arm Curl Test, Two Minutes Step Test, and the Fifty Feet Walk Test showeda significant difference at the end of the intervention and in the interventiongroup. Conclusion: Improvements in conditional factors (strength,flexibility and balance) were observed. A decrease in fall frequency was notobserved. We recommend a promising intervention, which could be implemented inalow-resourced setting and which could reduce falls in long-term.
