o:33356 EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON THE BALANCE OF OLDER ADULTS en Abstract: This research aims to collect relevant studies related to the effects of physical activity on the balance of older adults.The objective of this study is to determine the impact of physical activity on the balance of older adults. To collect data on the effects of physical activity on the balance of older adults, the following electronic databases were utilized: PubMed/Medline, PEDro, SCIndex, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, journals in the field of sports sciences, as well as relevant literature that could address the research question. The following keywords were used during the search: Exercises of balance, proprioception, exercise in the water, balance of the elderly. It was concluded that multidimensional exercise has a positive influence on the balance development of older adults. Proprioceptive physical activities have the most significant impact on balance control among older adults. Research on aquatic exercises indicates that lower body water-based or land-based exercise programs contribute to balance improvement. High-intensity strength training can safely and effectively strengthen the lower limb muscles, leading to significant enhancements in balance and a reduced risk of falls among older adults. In summary, physical activity has numerous positive effects on preserving the health and quality of life of older individuals. Future studies should be well-designed and provide detailed and precise reports. Keywords: Exercises of balance, proprioception, exercise in the water, balance of the elderly. 1552100 978-86-81474-28-0 1552102 https://www.fsfv.ni.ac.rs/nauka/fis-komunikacije/zbornici-radova-sa-fis-komunikacija/download-file?path=Zbornik%2Bradova%2BFIS%2B2023%2BFINAL%2Bza%2Bsajt.pdf 2024-04-02T13:51:45.881Z 44 no 46 Raid Mekić Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru 69681673 0000-0002-7470-2668 Ilma Čaprić Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0002-9684-3218 Oliver Radenković Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0001-8165-1590 Benin Murić Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0002-1808-3110 Omer Špirtović Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0002-4740-4382 Izet Kahrović Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0001-6291-0956 application/pdf 1195280 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:33356 no yes 1 70 92000002 20A01 XXIV International Scientific Conference „FIS COMMUNICATIONS 2023" in physical education, sport and recreation, Book of Proceedings , Niš, 2023. 39 48 2023
