简要总结
This feasibility pilot is part of the project "LiFE-is-LiFE" (2017-2020). It is based on the Lifestyle-Integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program by Clemson et al., which has proven effective in improving strength, balance, and physical activity while simultaneously reducing falls in older people via incorporating exercises in recurring daily tasks. However, implementing the original LiFE program includes high financial requirements and human resources. Therefore, LiFE-is-LiFE investigates whether implementing LiFE in groups (gLiFE) is not inferior to the original, individually delivered LiFE in terms of reducing falls per physical activity. In this pilot study, we evaluate our conception of gLiFE for large-scale use in the subsequent, larger LiFE-is-LiFE trial.
