Since imbalance considers as main cause of falling among the elderly, balance is part of the scientific challenge for last decades. The aim of this study was to Comparisons of Berg balance scale (BBS) following eight weeks Whole Body Vibration training (WBVT) and Aquatic balance training (ABT) in male elderly able-bodied individuals. Forty five adult male subjects (age: 70 ± 9.6 years, height: 168 ± 6.9 cm, mass: 70 ± 10.5 kg) voluntarily participated in study and assigned in to WBVT, ABT and control group (n = 15 per groups). BBS test, as a predictor of falling as well as static and dynamic balance among elder subjects, were taken as pre-test and post-test and also after four, six, and eight weeks of detraining. Results of repeated measure ANOVA and one-way ANOVA showed that BBS scores 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 increase static and dynamic balance, and also reduce the risk for falling in male elderly able-bodied individuals. However, WBVT can be recommended as an additional exercise besides ABT.
