Suchgroup exercise activities led by older volunteers are increasing. However, the effect of volunteers' exercisesupport has not yet been sufficiently examined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect ofgroup exercise activities led by older volunteers, which mainly entailed the Square-Stepping Exercise(SSE), on the lower-extremity physical function of community-dwelling older women. Methods: Subjectswere 60 community-dwelling older women in Kasama City, Ibaraki. Thirty women participated in a groupexercise activity managed by older volunteers (SSE group activity) for approximately 1 year, while theremaining 30 subjects did not (control group). The SSE group activity consisted of an SSE for improvinglower extremity physical function, and warm-up and cool-down exercises. The lower extremity physicalfunction of all 60 subjects was assessed using 5 physical performance tests: one-leg balance with eyesopen, 5-repetition sit-to-stand, timed up and go, 5 m habitual walk, and 4-way choice reaction time; testswere performed before and after the 1-year of the activity period. Results: Two-way ANOVA revealed asignificant interaction in the performance on the timed up and go (P = 0.006). The performance of subjectswho had participated in the SSE group activity remained the same in the pre and post tests (P = 0.211).
