In this study, investigators tried to find a useful and safe way of training for the elderly population which can help this population to improve their fitness factors as fast as possible. investigators have tried to see if different intensity training has different effects on muscle strength and functional mobility of elderly women in different time points (4, 8, and 12 weeks). Investigators hypothesized that Higher intensity would be more effective to improve muscle strength and functional mobility at different time points. The participants were trained twice per week and each session contain 4 exercises ( leg press, leg extension, leg curl, and seated calf raises) and the data have been collected at the pre-test and 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks of intervention.
