ABSTRACT
To assess the results of general muscle training for home helpers and home nurses we followed 40 women who completed a six month strength training program. All participants were employees at the home care district Skovgården Hjørring. The training program consisted of exercises for all parts of the body. It was a general rehabilitation program and consisted of a teeterboard, a rubberband and a weight bag adjustable from one to six kg. The duration of the program was one hour. All participants were instructed in the training program by author Ulla Willadsen. The period of training lasted six months and was performed twice a week.
