| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the effects of a training program aimed at improving leg muscle strength and function through an exercise involving continuous jumping by monitoring the exercise set, frequency, and duration of the training program in the elderly. The Borg scale of rating the perceived exertion level of "hard" was used to determine the intensity of continuous jumps. The rightward or leftward sidestepping movement, foot pressure distribution when standing at ease, foot tapping, ground reaction force in the sit-to-stand movement, and hip adductor and abductor strengths were measured before and after the three- or six-month-long training program. Consequently, multiple sets of the exercise with a training frequency of two or three times a week for the duration of the three-month-long program improved leg muscle strength and function to a greater extent than did the single set of the exercise with a training frequency of once a week for the duration of the six-month-long program.
