This study analyzed the effects of elastic band exercise on balance and knee muscle functions in 22 elderly women(exercise group＝11, control group＝11) residing in G City. The following results were obtained. First, there was a statistically significant difference in both static and dynamic balance for the balance functions test. Second, there was a statistically significant difference in both extensor and flexor muscle for the knee muscle functions test. Taken together, both static and dynamic balance was improved in the balance functions after the band exercise and both extensor and flexor muscle was also improved in the knee muscle functions after the band exercise. Therefore, it suggests that the elastic band exercise may improve elderly women's leg muscle and balance functions without exceeding their power.
