Problems increase with age, which affects the older people at different levels. Old age is associated with reduced physiological capacity that can lead to increased disability, loss of balance and falling. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the combination training (strength and stretching) on balance, the risk of falls, and quality of life for older men.
In the current quasi-experimental study, participants were healthy elderly men in Rasht (age: 65/64±6/95). The experiments were 28 men who met the criteria for research and were available for sampling. In the present study, we used the Sharpend-rumberg test (with eyes open and closed) as well as get up and go time test to measure the static and dynamic balance. These tests were conducted after the training sessions. Data analysis was done using independent t-test (at a significance level of 0/005> R).
The results showed that combined training for eight weeks in comparison with the control group has a significant effect on static balance with open eyes (P = 0/009), static balance with eyes closed (P = 0/001), dynamic balance (P = 0/025), and the risk of falls (p = 0/004).
It seems that combined training (strength and stretching) can positively affect the balance and risk of falls in older people, but it does not have a significant impact on the quality of their life.

Increasing age lead to many changes in motor assignments. Impairment of motor functions in elderly ceases the individual's inability in performing everyday tasks and activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combined training program on strength and range of motion of the elderly men.
Methods & Materials: This study was quasi-experimental and participants included healthy elderly men (age 65/64 ± 4/95) in the Rasht. This study was conducted on 22 healthy men that have inclusion criteria and were selected by using convenience sampling. The maximum isometric force of the muscle groups in the lower extremities and range of motion was measured by a hand held dynamometer and a goniometer, respectively. The tests were conducted before and after training. The data were analyzed using descriptive and analytic statistics by spss version 16 software (At a significance level of p≤0.005).

The results showed that combined training for 8 weeks in compare to the control group have a significant effect on the strength of dorsi flexors (p = 0.001), plantar flexors (p = 0.002), hip flexors (p = 0.001), hip extensors (p = 0.013), hip adductors (p = 0.002), hip abductors (p = 0.001) and hamstring strength (p = 0.029) but has no significant effect on the strength of the quadriceps (p = 0.375). They also have a significant effect on the range of motion of the dorsiflexion (p = 0.002), plantar flexion (p = 0.019), hip abduction (p = 0.001), the hip adduction (p = 0.001), and hip extension (p = 0.012) in elderly men but does not have a significant effect on range of motion of the hip flexor (p = 0.086) and range of motion of the knee flexor (p = 0.336).

It seems that combined exercises (stretching and strengthening) could effect on some range of motion and muscle strength of elderly.
