Sažetak
The aim was to examine the effects of strength training program on jump height (JH) in elderly people. JH represents an important determinant of functional capacity such as walking upstairs or rising from a seated position. Material and Method 40 participants were randomly assigned to either a training group (n = 20 ; 66.8 ± 1.97 years), or a control group (n = 20 ; 68.2 ± 2.91 years). Participants trained 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Each session consisted of 8 exercises with their own body weight. Pre- and post-intervention data were compared using Wilcoxon signed ranks test, with an alpha set at p < 0.05. The JH were assessed using the countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ) and arm swing countermovement jump (ACMJ) performed on a force plate. Results There were no significant differences in the pre-training JH (p = 0.405, p = 0.495 and p = 0.095 for CMJ, SJ and ACMJ respectively) between the training group and control group. There was a significant post-training effect only for the CMJ (6.53% ; p = 0.032), but not for SJ and ACMJ (p = 0.653 and p = 0.115 for SJ and ACMJ, respectively) in the training group. Conclusion The study results showed that the 12-week strength training is a safe, suitable, and efficient strength-training method for elderly people. It may be helpful in preserving leg muscle strength with advancing age and suitable for increasing JH in the elderly people, which may be an important way to increase functional independence and decrease the prevalence of many ageassociated chronic diseases.
