  • Senam Resiliensi (SR), rooted from CFQ (Cosmic Freedom Qigong), was developed by Hiew (2001) and has not been examined its usefulness for seniors. Hence, the current research is an empirical field work which attempt to examine its potential in enhancing seniors' resilience. Fifty five seniors (8 male, 27 female, 57-87 years old) in a senior home were given the SR training for one month by certified trainers. Result show a significant improvement on the senior state of resilience (t = 2.712; p < .05) and resilience trait (t = 2.440; p < .05). Further research on the potential benefit of SR is still in progress. Continued research of SR for seniors is needed due to its potential benefit in enhancing their resilience state and traits.
