Plain Language Summary
The weakness of balance can result in irrecoverable damages, so this study aimed to compare three training programs on the balance of inactive older men. For this purpose, we put the subjects in three different groups, and each of them performed one kind of training program, i.e., strength, balance, and combined (strength and balance) training for 8 weeks. At the end of the protocol, we compared the change in balance in all groups. The result showed that all methods could improve older people’s balance significantly, so we recommend these methods for improving balance in older adults.
