In older adults, progressive aging leads to a gradual decrease in physical ability and balance, increasing the risk of fall associated injuries. This increase in fall accidents is due to the impaired balance in older adults. The study investigated the potential of engaging older adults in short term balance exercise to increase physical activity and balance. 44 older adults ranged between 65 to 75 years were randomly chosen and divided into experimental and control groups. Experimental group practiced balance training for 3 days in week for 4 weeks. The balance training measure using of Berg balance scale (BBS) and Time up and go test (TUG-T) and lower limb Strength measure using of 30 seconds sit to stand test (STS). BBS, TUG-T and STS test were compare within group using paired T test and between group used independent t test. The level of statistical significance difference for all analysis was set at p value less than 0.05. this study indicates statistically significance for all outcomes in experimental group compare to control group so the study indicated that 3 alternate days/week for 4 weeks' short duration physical activity program effective on balance performance and strength in older adults.
