Identify the effect of the proposed program to accompany physical exercises in raising the physical efficiency of walking among the elderly (60+ years), through: - Identify the impact of the educational program through cognitive testing on the sample under research. - Restoring muscle strength and range of motion of the lower limb muscles in the sample under study. - Improving the levels of motor and static balance in elderly people over (60+ years), who are exposed to injuries and diseases due to lack of mobility. - Improving their quality of life by regaining the ability to walk completely independently. The researcher used the experimental method (for one experimental group) by conducting (pre-measurement- post-measurement) on the sample under research The research sample was chosen deliberately from among the elderly (60+ years) of men and women who frequented the Al-Arish Youth Center in North Sinai Governorate. The basic research sample was represented by a number of (10) elderly people, with (4) women and (6)) of men, and the researcher concluded the following: - Low cognitive level among the sample under study related to the health aspect and the importance of walking and diseases of lack of movement. The proposed program improves muscle strength, range of motion, and levels of motor and static balance in the elderly. Implementing the proposed program contributed to improving the quality of life among the elderly, the research sample, by bringing them to complete independence in their walking practice.
