The study examined the effect of the body composition and life activity of seniors suffered from movement disturbances due to Cerebral Vascular Accident (C.V.A). The gymnastics was designed to improve the health of seniors. Twenty seniors were put into the exercise three times a week for twenty four weeks. In-Body 3.0 and Barthel's life movement index scal recorded the improvement in the seniors health. The following changes in data was observed.1. The mean body weight from 64.1(±9.39)kg to 63.8(±8.62)kg2. The mean body fat weight from 18.6(±3.24)kg to 17.8(±4.07)kg, the mean body fat percent from 29.3(±4.83)% to 27.9(±5.51)%3. Lean body mass from 45.5(±9.39)kg to 46(±8.62)kg, Basal Metabolic Rate(BMR) from 1228.4 (±157.69)Kcal to 1241.8(±140.51)Kcal4. Through movement therapy the seniors acquired higher independent life activity index after program: (42.8±5.1); those who lacked had (20.8±5.3).5. Higher movement index: (46.78±15.86) was observed in the seniors under movement therapy; those who lacked had (38.35±20.7).
