Popis: Introduction: Physical activity has a good effect on improving the health of the elderly, especially in the treatment of chronic diseases of the respiratory, digestive, and cardiovascular systems. Many studies have proven that exercise, especially strength training, can delay and even reverse the decline in neuromuscular and motor function caused by aging, with a safe return to activities of daily living. The elderly generally choose an aerobic exercise for cardiovascular and endocrine benefits, but research on neuromuscular benefits has inconsistent results. Objective: Investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on neuromuscular quality in the elderly. Methods: Medical screening, background information questionnaire, and exercise habits were collected from 80 elderly people aged 65 to 80 years in two nursing homes in a given city. They were randomly divided into four groups without statistical difference. The male and female control groups maintained normal daily activities. In contrast, the male and female experimental groups practiced aerobic training exercises with progressively increasing intensity three times a week for 12 weeks. BMI, lean muscle mass and 6-minute walk test scores were collected. The software SPSS10 approaches t-test and data between groups compared by ANOVA (P
