In order to clarify develop a physical exercise program to maintain mobility, which can be performed safely and simply by those aged 75 years and over were subjects of baseline study, 10 participants were selected to perform a longitudinal intervention study of a 3 months exercise training program. The physical exercise program constituted 10 kinds of movement, selected by the elderly participants. The psychosocial effects of participating in the seven classes, which developed the physical exercise program, were evaluated by the life satisfaction index, fear of falling, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology index of competence, and motor fitness scale. The biomedical effects of this physical exercise program were evaluated by blood pressure, grip strength, maximum trunk flexion in a sitting position, the timed up and go tests, one-leg standing with eyes open, and preferred and maximum walking speeds. There were no significant differences in the evaluation scores of the psychosocial items between before and after seven health promotion classes. Systolic blood pressure (p<0.08) was lowered and maximum trunk flexion in a sitting position (p<0.006) was significantly heightened after the class participation in comparison with before the class participation. We suggest that the physical exercise program, which incorporated the idea of the older participants, improved their health behavior, which is important for the ongoing health and functioning of elderly persons, in addition to physiological improvement to maintain mobility.
