AB The objective of this study was to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT)and moderate intensity interval training (MIIT) programs, both with a suspension trainingsystem, on several fall risk factors in healthy older adults. A total of 82 participants (68.49 ±5.18 years) were randomized to HIIT (n=28), MIIT (n = 27), or control (n = 27) groups. Balanceconfidence (Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale), fear of falling (Falls Efficacy ScaleInternational), dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go Test) and gait analysis (OptoGait opticaldetection system) were assessed. Statistical analysis showed improvements after theintervention in HIIT group compared with MIIT and control group regarding the fear of falling(p < .05 and < .01 respectively), gait (both p < .05), and dynamic balance (p < .05 and < .01respectively), while both HIIT and MIIT improved balance confidence compared to groupcontrol (p < .01 and p < .05 respectively). We can conclude that HIIT has significant beneficialeffects of fall risk in older adults.
