Abstract

The paper presents the results of a fieldwork study conducted in order to analyze the variation of different biomechanical parameters of elderly women in Romania. The study has an exploratory and descriptive nature and uses quantitative methodology. The sample consisted of 100 elderly women from Romania, ranging from 55 to over 75 years of age. The collected data was analyzed using a statistic analysis software program. The analysis of variance demonstrated significant differences across weight groups in terms of biomechanical parameters such as toe off phase and support phase in the case of elderly women.
