Exercise may reduce or delay the onset of health risks associated with aging. The purpose of this study was to analyze selected anthropometric and functional fitness of active older male adults. Volunteers (N=16, ages 65-83 and X=74.47) from two organized university/ community physical activity classes-weight bearing (WB) and a combination of WB and non-weight bearing (COM)- participated in the study. Anthropometric measures included height, weight, body mass index and bioelectrical impedance calculated estimates of body composition. Bone density and functional capacities were determined by the following measurement scales: Norland Ultrasonic Bone System (bone density), Functional Fitness Assessment for Adults Over 60 (Osness, Adrian, Clark, Hoeger, Raab, & Wisell,1996), Falls Efficacy Scale (FES) (Tinetti, deLeon, Doucette, & Baker,1994; Tinetti, Richman, & Powell,1990) . The Tinetti Gait and Balance Scale (Tinetti, 1986) was used to measure risk of falls. Means, standard deviations, and frequency distributions for all data were determined. Analysis of variance was used to compare groups and the effectiveness of these types of exercise activity classes. Results indicated that there were no significant differences among groups. However, FES scores were lower for the COM group than the WB groups. Mean values for FES were 91.87(COM) and 98.125(WB). This suggests that COM activity classes have less confidence to perform common activities of daily living. Mean values for calculated body fat percentage measures were higher than the normal range expected suggesting a prevalence of higher body fat in older male adults. Further studies are needed to determine which types of exercise would maintain bone density and functional capacity in older men.Keyword(s): adult fitness, community-based programs, older adult/aging issues
