The comparison of members of the exercising group and control group before
the start of exercising in 2006/07 showed no statistically significant differenc-
es; statistically significant differences between the two groups occurred during
the final testing in 2011, in favor of the members of the exercising group (Fig-
ure 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8). The comparison of the two groups showed no statistical-
ly significant differences before the start of exercising in 2006/07 and after the
exercising in 2011 (Figure 4 and 7). At the first measurement, before the start
of exercising in 2006/07 the comparison of results of the exercising group and
control group showed a statistically significant difference in favor of the exer-
cising group; the statistically significant difference was also observed between
the two groups at the final testing in 2011 and again in favor of the exercising
group members (Figure 6). Statistically significant difference appeared for the
members of the control group, between the first and the final measurement,
namely the average results of all tests after four years were lower than the re-
sults of the initial measurements.
Figure 1: Getting up from the chair for 30 seconds (number of repetitions)
At the members of the exercising group (Figure 1) before and after the
finished exercising in 2006/07 the test results of getting up from the chair for
30 seconds were not statistically significant, but they were statistically signifi-
cant when we compared the results of the test before the start of exercising in
2006/07 and after a four-year period in 2011 and after the finished exercising in
2006/07 and after four years. The difference of results (Figure 2) of the members
of the exercising group in the test weightlifting sitting for 30 seconds before and
after the exercising in 2006 /07 showed a statistically significant difference, in
favor of the test after six-month exercising; a statistically significant difference
