3.6. THAI WAND EXERCISE

General health perceptions subscale of health related quality of life, functional capacity, body flexibility and

obesity can be improved by Thai Wand Exercise training in older individuals [33]. This may partly reduce

some cardiovascular disease risk factors. An advantage of this form of exercise is that this is a convenient, low

impact on the joints and effective at home fitness program, with the only equipment need, a four feet long stick.

But the major attraction is that it is also suited for the elderly who are not allegeable for the common training

procedures.
