Faculty of Education, Mie University, Mie, Japan 514 8507
Aging Clin Exp Res 20:19-24. 2008..The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of square-stepping exercise (SSE) training, which is a new and low-cost method designed to improve lower-extremity functional fitness, with strength and balance (SB) training...
Square-stepping exercise and fall risk factors in older adults: a single-blind, randomized controlled trialRyosuke Shigematsu
Faculty of Education, Mie University, Japan
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 63:76-82. 2008..This study aimed to compare two exercise programs--square-stepping exercise (SSE), which is a low-cost indoor program, and walking--for improving the fitness of the lower extremities...
