摘要：Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ankle plantar flexor and knee extensor muscles fatigue on dynamic balance of Tehran female elderly people.The subjects of this study consist of 30 active elderly women with mean age 68±3/4 years.Method: Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) applied,for dynamic balance evaluation.Ankle plantar flexor machine and knee extensor muscles machine were used for implementation of fatigue protocol on these muscles respectively;we also used Kin-Com machine for muscles strength evaluation.Sample t test as well as independent t test were applied for statistical analysis (p=0/05).Discussions and Conclusion: Comparison of the mean distance of the eight vectors Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) before and after implementation of the fatigue protocol,showed a meaningful decrease in each of the eight vectors.We concluded that,despite participation in general fitness programs,the female elderly people experience balance- disturbances.
