Subjects (n=15) were selected as<br />volunteers. The intervention was performed in an eighteen session period, three<br />times a week (each session, 45 minutes). Yoga training was performed for mental<br />relaxation. Wexler test was performed for memory evaluation. Seat up test was<br />used to test the dynamic balance. The results suggested that water-based exercises<br />and Yoga protocol have had a positive significant effect on memory (p=0.03) and<br />dynamic balance. It was concluded that a selected physical activity program,<br />especially water-based exercises has less potential for making people injured.
