%X in a sampled population of fall-prone elderly women, an exercise protocol was performed for 12 weeks on experimental group and at the end of exercise period, the strength and endurance of muscles and sf-6 health surveys were analyzed. results showed that endurance and strength of muscles and also physical activity were improved in experimental group (p<0.05). group exercise program causes improvement in both strength and endurance of muscles in fall-prone elderly women. the effect of group exercise program on women may be related to differences in central nervous system of this gender in comparison with men.
