  ABSTRACT: The study aims to describe the effects an integrative core stability training on balance and walking speed in healthy elderly people over 65 years old: an adapted training program based on core stability exercises was introduced in the warm up phase. The study was conducted with active adults (n = 84, 38 males, 46 females) randomly divided into 2 groups: adapted core stability group (CSG, n = 40) with age, weight and height (mean ± ds) respectively of 68.2 ± 2.1 years, 69.87 ± 3.2 kg, 166.6 ± 4.8 cm; recreational group (RG, n = 44) with age, weight and height respectively of 68.9 ± 2.2 years, 68.7 ± 3.7 kg, 167 ± 2.8 cm. The sample performed for 10 weeks (3 sessions a week) the two different activities; before and after the training period (T0 and T1), the strength of the core district, static balance ability, dynamic balance and walking speed were evaluated. The results revealed a change in test scores across the two time periods (pre-intervention, post-intervention) for CSG in the McGill sit-up test (p
