The findings suggest that TCC improves muscle strength, maintains posture control and dynamic standing balance, and improvesshoulder and kneeflexibility and cardio-respiratory function in elderly persons. TCCalso helps prevent accidents from falling in elderly participants. This paper helps us to understand the framework for leisure service professionals, educators, and service providers, and to understand the pattern of elderly people’s needs.
