AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the effect of combined turning and balance training on ground reaction force (GRF) characteristics during walking and turning in older men. METHODS: Thirty older men were selected and randomly divided into two equal experimental (EG: age 65.47 +/- 2.50 years; BMI 24.57 +/- 0.68 kg/m2) and control (CG: age 65.80 +/- 2.34 years; BMI 24.72 +/- 0.64 kg/m2) groups. EG participants completed 12 weeks of training. Kinetic data were recorded using the force plate. RESULTS: After the training, there was a significant difference between the EG and CG in the peak of GRF components and related time parameters as well as the required coefficient of friction in all directions. There was a significant decrease and increase in the stance time and loading rate respectively after the training in EG. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed improvement in gait and turning performance of older men. Therefore, combined exercises with emphasis on the turning components for older men are recommended.
