Lara Carlson and Michael Lawrence publish in 鈥楥linical Interventions in Aging鈥
The publication, titled 鈥淚nfluence of the Flo-Dynamics Movement System漏 intervention on measures of performance in older persons,鈥 discusses a study in which subjects aged 61-79 years participated in the Flo-Dynamics Movement System漏 (FDMS), which consists of eight movements with a water-filled device; in this case, the Wun-Jo鈩 trainer. Measures of strength, flexibility, and balance were assessed pre-training and after eight weeks of training for 30 minutes, three times per week.
Carlson and Lawrence concluded that FDMS training provides a safe alternative to traditional exercise and offers an effective strategy to increase functional ability in the elderly.
