No current literature compares the immediate effects of dynamic warm-up versus self-paced walking on functional balance in adults aged 45 years and above who are participating in a structured exercise program. The purpose of this study was to examine the acute impact of a 15-minute dynamic warm-up vs. self-paced walking intervention on the functional balance of exercise-accustomed individuals aged \u2265 45 years, males and females. <b>Methods:<\/b> Sixteen participants (ten males and six females, aged 68.06 \u00b1 4.50 years) completed three 45-minute sessions. On two days, participants completed either a dynamic warm-up or self-paced walking intervention. A counterbalanced testing design was used; all participants engaged in both interventions. Functional balance scores using The Brief BESTest were collected pre and posttest for each session. <b>Results: <\/b>Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance indicated there was no significant interaction (<i>p<\/i>&lt;.05) between Warm-up Type (dynamic vs. self-pace walking) and Time (pre- vs. posttests). More specifically, marginal means of balance scores for Dynamic Warm-up was significantly greater than those of Self-paced Walking despite the counterbalanced order of interventions across participants. <b>Conclusions:<\/b> The findings of this study suggest that neither a 15-minute dynamic warm-up nor self-paced walking induce an immediate improvement in the functional balance of middle-aged to older adults. Similar intervention may be implemented in the non-exercising aging adults, and a more sensitive instrumentation is necessary to track the immediate changes in functional balance.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>Anne Squires<sup>1<\/sup>, Jacob Barwig<sup>1<\/sup>, Anna Schroeder<sup>1<\/sup>, Bethany Schweiner<sup>1<\/sup>, Meghan Witt<sup>1<\/sup>, Saori Braun<sup>1<\/sup>. <b>Acute Effects of a Dynamic Warm-Up and Self-Paced Walking on Functional Balance in Middle-Aged and Older Adults<\/b>. <sup>1<\/sup>Department of Kinesiology, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, Eau Claire, WI, USA.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[299,149,300,301,303,302],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
