Balance, Mobility, and Flexibility in 55 Elderly Women by Exercise Group

55 women aged 60 to 81 were evaluated for balance, mobility, and flexibility, divided into four groups based on physical activity in the 12 months prior to assessment. The dataset likely contains results from the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, and Sit and Reach test, used to compare non-practitioners with practitioners of aerobic and resistance exercise. The data was collected by Juliana Rodrigues Soares Ruzene and is available via paperswithcode.

Use Cases

• Comparing mobility performance based on reported physical activity type using the Timed Up and Go test results.
• Analyzing flexibility outcomes based on exercise group classification using the Sit and Reach test scores.
• Investigating balance metrics across different activity levels using the Berg Balance Scale scores.
• Modeling the relationship between exercise type and functional fitness test results in an elderly female cohort.

Strengths

• Includes data from 55 participants with a defined age range of 60 to 81 years.
• Participants are categorized into four distinct groups based on 12 months of reported physical activity.
• Uses three standardized clinical assessment tools: Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, and Sit and Reach test.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to paperswithcode, such as a specific recruitment or geographic focus.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
