Key Points

The aim is to investigate the impact of lower-limb muscle strength and balance on motor function in elderly populations.
Assessed elderly master swimmers for lower-limb muscle strength and balance.
Conducted neuromotor response evaluations for correlation with fall risk.
Utilized statistical analyses to link muscle strength and balance with motor function metrics.
Findings indicate that lower-limb muscle strength significantly correlates with improved motor function (p<0.05).
Better balance is associated with decreased risk of falls, showing a 30% lower fall rate compared to weaker counterparts.
Neuromotor responses improved with age-appropriate exercises, highlighting practical applications for training.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
