简要总结
This project is designed to explore the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a remote Tai Chi program on older adults' 24-hour movement behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep patterns).
详细描述
This study employed a 26-week cross-over, randomized control trial design in which each participant was assigned to one of two condition (i.e., 10 participants/cohort, 2 cohorts/condition) sequences at baseline: 1) the Tai Chi intervention condition then the usual care condition; or 2) usual care condition then intervention condition. The intervention condition requested participants participate in remote Tai Chi program for 60 minutes/session 2 times/week beyond their usual care. The usual care condition asked participants to maintain regular activities without Tai Chi and not to change their regular activity routine. Each condition lasted 12 weeks, with a 2-week washout separating treatments. The researchers monitored intervention fidelity via monthly follow-up phone calls.

研究组 & 干预措施
Tai Chi intervention condition
(1) the Tai Chi intervention condition followed by the Usual Care condition, or (2) the Usual Care condition followed by the TC intervention condition. Participants in the Tai Chi intervention condition were asked to attend a remotely delivered Tai Chi program, consisting of two 60-minute sessions each week. The Usual Care condition required participants to maintain their regular activities without Tai Chi and not to change their routine. Each condition lasted 12 weeks with a 2-week washout period separating the conditions to minimize carryover effects.
干预措施: Tai Chi intervention (Device)
Usual Care condition
The Usual Care condition required participants to maintain their regular activities without Tai Chi and not to change their routine.
干预措施: Usual care condiition (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Acceptability and feasibility
时间窗: Baseline, week 13, week 14, and week 26
The investigators tracked participants' online attendance and let them complete a post-intervention satisfaction survey to assess acceptability and feasibility of the program. After the intervention, the investigators distributed a satisfaction survey including multiple choice questions and open-ended questions to the participants to evaluate their satisfaction and acceptability of the program.
