Abstract

Background The aging proces causes anatomical and functional changes anatomical and functional changes in the body, particulary in the musculoskeletal system, which leads to a decline in leg muscle strength. The decline increases the risk of falling and dependence on others. In Indonesia, the prevalence of muscle disorders in older adults reaches 11,9%. Otago exercise and bodyweight squat have been proven effective in increasing leg muscle strength in older adults. Objective: To determine the difference in the effects of otago exercise on increasing leg muscle strength in the elderly. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre- and post-test two group design, involving 42 elderly individuals who participated in exercise 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Group I performed otago exercise, while group II performed bodyweight squat exercise. Measurements were taken using the five times sit to stand test. Results: Showed in increase in leg muscle strength in both groups, with a significant difference between group I and group II using a Paired Sample t-Test group I p=12,73 (p<0,05), indicating a difference in effect on each group and an increase in leg muscle strength in the elderly. Conclusion: There is a difference in the effect of Otago exercise and bodyweight squat exercise on the increase in leg muscle strength in the elderly. Conclusion: Ther is a difference in the effects of otago exercise and bodyweight squat exercise on increasing leg muscle strength in the elderly. Suggestion: Further research should consider environmental factors and energy intake.
