The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a 36-week complex exercise program helps to improve the risk factors for fall and hip fracture. Participant group for this study was 47 women in the range of age 65-68. The exercise program was conducted three times per week for 36 weeks. This study proved that the complex exercise program with weight bearing exercise at a moderate intensity and the gait training were highly effective in offsetting the decline in BMD, hormone metabolic substrate in elderly women. In addition, this exercise program had a positive effect on their postural stability.
