THE RELATIONS BETWEEN HAMSTRING MUSCLE OF FLEKSIBILITY WITH DYNAMIC BALANCE IN ELDERLY IN DESA SERAI, KINTAMANI

Flexibility is the ability of the muscle to elongate the muscle tissue as much as possible so that the body can move with a normal range of motion. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between hamstring muscle of flexibility on dynamic balance in the elderly. This research was cross sectional analytical. Sampling was done by Simple Random Sampling. The number of samples were 108 people (58 females, 50 males) aged 60-75 years, the independent variable measured was hamstring muscle of flexibility using Sit and Reach Test. The dependent variable measured was the dynamic balance with Time Up And Go Test. Hypothesis test used was Chi Square Test to analyze the significance of the relationship between hamstring muscle of flexibility and dynamic balance. In the calculation of the analysis, the output data known p value was 0.025 hence p <0.05. Based on the results of this study concluded that there was a significant relationship between hamstring muscle of flexibility on the dynamic balance in the elderly in Desa Serai, Kintamani.
