Method: Fifty-five elderly 55 to 80 years old appearance of integrity and ability to walk alone were randomly assigned to the following three groups. Twenty elderly were in the exercise habits group (age=66.1±8.0yr, ht=159.8±7.0cm, wt=62.8±9.0kg), another twenty elderly were in the circuit exercise group (age=63.9±5.5yr, ht=159.1±9.4cm, wt=59.2±9.7kg), who attended the circuit exercise at 40 minutes per day, 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Fifteen elderly were in the control group (61.5±6.5yr, ht=161.7±7.5cm, wt=62.9±9.0kg). The data were analyzed by multiscale entropy, and assessed by t-test and one-way analysis of covariance (one-way ANCOVA). Result: 1. Exercise habits significantly improved the balancing capability of elderly both eyes open and eyes closed during 0-5 seconds (p<.05). 2. Exercise habits significantly improved the balancing capability of elderly both eyes open and eyes closed during 5-60 seconds (p<.05). 3. The circuit exercise intervention significantly improved the balancing capability of elderly of eyes open during 0-5 seconds (p<.05), but didn’t significantly influential on eyes closed (p>.05). 4. The circuit exercise intervention significantly improved the balancing capability of elderly of eyes open during 5-60 seconds (p<.05), but didn’t significantly influential on eyes closed (p>.05). Conclusion: This study indicated that Regular exercise can improve the elderly terminate gait and static balancing capability both eyes open and eyes closed. The circuit exercise intervention can improve the elderly terminate gait and static balancing capability of eyes open, but can’t improve the terminate gait and static balancing capability of eyes closed.
