Data Analysis
In the present study, the statistical program SPSS
18.0 was used for data analysis. General characteristics
of the study subjects were produced as frequency
analysis, means and standard deviations. Wilcoxon
signed-ranks tests were conducted to examine
changes in the elderly persons' balance between
before and after the exercises and Mann-Whitney
tests were conducted to examine differences in
changes between the groups. To test statistical significance,
the significance level was set to α= .05.
