Brief Summary: According to statistical resuls, there was significacnt improvement in fat percentage of inferior group after 8-weeks exercise. Even though the result of shoulder scratch was negative (i.e. deterioration), the strength of upper and lower limb showed positive enhancement after exercise participation. Especially, the grip strength of middle group, toe-grip strength of inferior group), and muscle strength of gluteus medius, which were associated with walking ability for elderly people, were enhanced by 8-weeks participation in functional exercises. There was no significant improvement in gait linear parameters after 8-weeks exercises.
