Longitudinal verification of the effect of underwater exercise courses for the elderly that have been held for 16 years in rural areas.
Description: In this study, we evaluated the effect of the "underwater exercise course for the elderly" that has been continued for a long time in a longitudinal and comprehensive manner. I in this way tried the proposal to a health promotion activity in the intermediate and mountainous area.For long-term health promotion activities,it was considered important to hold regular "physical fitness tests" and "exchange meetings". At the measurement meeting, I was able to get an opportunity to perform an assessment as well as a change in physical fitness. As a result, the state of cognitive function could be grasped. At the exchange meeting, the use of ITC by the elderly was more advanced than it was 10 years ago. The use of these tools was also considered in the future. Long-term courses increase the independence of the elderly. Furthermore, it can be said that measurement meetings are important for health promotion activities in terms other than exercise.
