[Purpose] The aim of this study was to identify the functional characteristics of the people who continued training compared with the people who discontinued training among participants of a locomotion training class. [Subjects] The participants were 231 community-dwelling elderly people. [Methods] We investigated demographic data, physical functions, and determined whether participants were locomotive syndrome positive or not. After two months, we assessed types and frequency of participants' exercise, and divided the participants into two groups, the continued training group and the discontinued training group. The continued training group exercised once a week. [Results] There were 160 people in the continued group, and they had high values compared with the discontinued group for body weight, and the functional reach test, and were locomotive syndrome positive. [Conclusion] We consider that people who were alert to impairment of their physical functions continued training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
