| Popis: | The population of elderly individuals in the village of Tinggede, Indonesia, continues to increase. It is crucial for the ageing population to maintain good fitness throughout the ageing process. Ageing in the elderly encompasses a range of issues, from declining motor function to muscle strength loss. Therefore, it is important for the elderly to preserve muscle strength through physical exercise to ensure independent functioning. This research aimed to investigate the effects of a combination of resistance and aerobic exercises on muscle strength in healthy elderly individuals.
