The aim of this study was to determine changes in balance and neuromuscular performance following Whole body vibration training (WBVT) and aquatic balance training (ABT) in elderly subjects. Forty five adult male subjects voluntarily participated in study and assigned in to WBVT, ABT and control group (CG) (n = 15 per groups). Timed Up & Go and 5-Chair stand tests were taken as pre-test and post-test and also after four, six, and eight weeks of detraining. Neuromuscular performance and walking ability improved significantly for two trained groups. Significant differences observed between post-test and six and eight week detraining period in WBVT group, while no significant differences seen in these parameters in ABT group. Due to results, ABT are more persistent than WBVT and reduce the risk for falling in male able-bodied elderly individuals. However, WBVT can be recommended as an additional exercise besides ABT.
