This study investigated the effect of 10 weeks' Qi-gong and elastic band exercise on fitness, ADL and depression in elderly
women. For this study, participants were divided into two groups, exercise group(n=50), non-exercise group(n=50). The study used
a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. The experimental group received Qi-gong and elastic band exercise 3
times a week for 10 weeks. The results of the research were as follows. ‘activities of daily living’, ‘depression’, ‘balance-take
feet together’, ‘balance-single leg stance’, ‘gait speed-3m up & go and sit to stand respectively’, ‘strength-chair stand in 5times’,
‘strength-grips’, ‘flexibility-back scratch’ were positive effect on elderly women’s health promotion. For further studies, it seems
necessary to carry out an accurate observation into seniors exercise programs, various periods of exercise, life styles and
patterns and even their eating habits, which is different from the research subjects for this study.
