We adopted a quasi-experimental research design with pre-post measurement of the experimental group, in a healthy, pre-fragile sample of 12 women aged 71.5 \u00b1 8 years, chosen using non-probabilistic-incidental accessibility sampling. The WHO questionnaire was used for the functional assessment of the fall. To evaluate FOF, we applied the 16-item version of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), (pretest and posttest). This intervention program was based on Adapted Utilitarian Judo and conducted over 8 weeks, with two 60-minute sessions each week. After analyzing the scores obtained by the subjects in the pre and post FES-I, we found that the intervention with the JUA program had been significant for the experimental group with p \u2264 0.004, and there was an 11.9% decrease in the fear of falling (FES-I pos = 18.17). The results show that after the application of the JUA program there were significant improvements in subjects\u2019 perception of FOF, with this being greater in those who had the highest levels of fear of falling before the intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15112526","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,14]],"date-time":"2018-11-14T02:42:41Z","timestamp":1542163361000},"page":"2526","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Effects of the Application of a Program of Adapted Utilitarian Judo (JUA) on the Fear of Falling Syndrome (FOF) for the Health Sustainability of the Elderly Population"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Luis","family":"Toronjo-Hornillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education and Sports Department, University of Sevilla, 41013 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Casta\u00f1eda-V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education and Sports Department, University of Sevilla, 41013 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda del Carmen","family":"Campos-Mesa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education and Sports Department, University of Sevilla, 41013 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gloria","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education and Sports Department, University of Sevilla, 41013 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Corral-Pern\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education and Sports Department, University of Sevilla, 41013 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1499-2552","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F\u00e1tima","family":"Chac\u00f3n-Borrego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education and Sports Department, University of Sevilla, 41013 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3024-1097","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d3scar","family":"DelCastillo-Andr\u00e9s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Education and Sports Department, University of Sevilla, 41013 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2018, November 01).
