The oscillation of the center of pressure was assessed with a force platform.Results: The GM group presented a reduction in the oscillation (66.8 ± 273.4 cm2 to 11.1 ± 11.6 cm2; P = 0.02), which was not observed in the GS group. The GM group showed better results for the peak torque and work than the GS group, but without statistical significance.Conclusion: Although the GM group presented better results, it is not possible to state that one exercise regimen proved more efficacious than the other in improving balance control.Keywords: postural control, aging, exercise, multisensory, strengtheningAlfieri FMRiberto MGatz LSRibeiro CPCLopes JAFBattistella LRDove Medical Pressarticlepostural controlagingexercisemultisensorystrengtheningGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 7, Pp 119-125 (2012)
