 note = {The purpose of this study was to investigate whether elderly women and men with low physical fitness who had participated in training program for improvement of walking performance for the long term showed an improvement in their leg extension power, walking motion and physical fitness. A total of ten elderly women and four elderly men （from 72 to 93 years old, 82±8.8 yrs.）who had needed nursing participated in the training program held for approximately 20 minutes a time and twice a week for 20 weeks. The subject executed 20 times by three sets of each leg extension and leg flexion a day by using the simply and handy leg extension and flexion machine. Walking motions were filmed from a lateral angle using digital video camera and analyzed before and after training. Ability for balance with the standing position posture was investigated before and after training. After training, the leg extension power was significantly increased and its relative increase rate was approximately 100%. Nine elderly people improved their walking speed by extending the stride length and increasing the height of tiptoe in one cycle. The movement of hip, knee and ankle joints during the walking had remarkably increased compared with before training. Moreover, there was a tendency that ability for balance with the standing position posture was improved with many subjects, and blood sugar level and bone density were improved in some subjects. Therefore, it is thought that the leg extension and flexion training using the simply and handy leg extension and flexion machine is effective to the improvement of leg extension power, walking performance and ability for balance for elderly people with low physical strength who had needed nursing.},
