About this study

Official title: The Short Effectiveness of Self-Management Skills and Health Promotion Programs on the Health Status of the Pre-frail Individuals in the Communities

This pilot study aimed to examine the efficacy of a home-based multicomponent exercise training program in older community- dwellers during to the Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Read the detailed description

This pilot study aimed to examine the efficacy of a home-based multicomponent exercise training program in older community- dwellers during to the Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Design: A two-arm parallel cluster randomized controlled trial. Older adults ≥60 years old were recruited from eight community units in northern Taiwan. One-hundred and sixty-seven eligible subjects consented to participate in the study. Community units were randomly assigned to either an intervention arm (n=82) or a control arm (n=87). The intervention consisted of one 60-minutes group exercise session once a week in first 8 weeks, and self-management in next 8 weeks. The control arm received an education leaflet. Assessments were performed at baseline and 16 weeks for physical activity, physical performance, and pre-frailty rate. Analysis of covariance or chi-square test adjusted for pretest evaluated the differences between the two study arms.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • multicomponent exercise training programBehavioural

    One supervised 60 minutes training sessions per week were organized combining warm-up, speed-walking, resistance exercise, static and dynamic balance. Supervised walking sessions were for 10-20 minutes at a target intensity of 13-15 on the Borg scale. Thereafter, 10 resistance exercises targeting lower body, trunk and upper body muscles were performed with elastic band. In addition, participants were instructed to accumulate 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity aerobic activity in bouts of at least 10 minutes, and at least 2-3 days all major muscle groups training.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing multicomponent exercise training program in people with Older Adults, run by Shu-Hung Chang at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
