简要总结
This study tests the effectiveness of using a new mobile application (Bingocize®) to improve older adults' (a) adherence to an engaging exercise program, and (b) aspects of functional performance, health knowledge, dietary habits, and cognition.
详细描述
Health-promoting interventions designed to improve physical and mental fitness can help reduce health care costs; they can also help maintain, or even improve, older adults' quality of life. However, getting older adults to adhere to health-promoting exercise interventions remains difficult because such programs are often perceived as being time-consuming, painful, or unenjoyable. The present study's objective is to investigate the effectiveness of a novel technological exercise intervention program for older adults (Bingocize); in doing so, the program has the potential to improve older adults' independence and quality of life. Older adults will participate in a pre/post-intervention design with random assignment to either the experimental or one of three comparison/control groups; each group will play Bingocize in a social setting with other older adults. Participants in the experimental group will use the app to engage in twice-weekly Bingocize sessions for twelve weeks (i.e., Bingo+Exercise+Health Education); control groups will also use the app for twelve weeks but for either health education-only, exercise-only, or bingo-only.

结局指标
主要结局
Executive Function Measure: Updating Verbal Working Memory
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
Dot Counting Task designed to measure verbal working memory, part of the EXAMINER Battery (for scoring method, see References). EXAMINER generates a score is the total number of items correctly recalled across all six trials. Minimum=0, Maximum=27, higher = better.
Executive Function Measure: Verbal Fluency
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
Verbal Fluency Task designed to measure fluency, part of the EXAMINER Battery (for scoring method, see References). EXAMINER generates a score that represents the total number of words correctly recalled in two tasks: phonemic (letter) and semantic (category). Minimum=0, Maximum=unlimited, higher = better.
Executive Function Measure of Inhibition: Continuous Performance Test
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
Continuance Performance Task is classic response inhibition task, part of the EXAMINER Battery (for scoring method, see References). The score here represents the number of trials out of 100 that the participant responded correctly (i.e., either successfully responded or successfully inhibited a response). Minimum=0 Maximum=100, higher = better.
Chair Stands: Change in Lower-body Muscular Strength
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
number of completed chair stands in 30 seconds, minimum=0, higher = better
Executive Function Measure: Set Shifting Task
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
Set Shifting Task designed to measure attention during task switching, part of the EXAMINER Battery (for scoring method, see References). EXAMINER generates a score that combines reaction time and accuracy data from the incongruent trials. This scoring method generates accuracy and reaction time sub-scales that range in value between 0 and 5, and the ultimate composite score ranges in value between 0 and 10. Minimum=0, Maximum=10, higher = better.
Change in Dynamic Balance: 360 Degree Turns
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
360 degree turns: time to complete. No minimum or maximum value set. Lower = better.
Executive Function Inhibition Measure 1: Flanker Task
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
Flanker Task designed to measure inhibition, part of the EXAMINER Battery (for scoring method, see References section). EXAMINER generates a score that combines reaction time and accuracy data from the incongruent trials. This scoring method generates accuracy and reaction time sub-scales that range in value between 0 and 5, and the ultimate composite score ranges in value between 0 and 10. Minimum=0, Maximum=10, higher = better.
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test: Change in Dynamic Balance
时间窗: Baseline and 12 Weeks
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test used to assess mobility and risk for falling. Number of seconds needed to stand up from a chair, walk 10 feet, turn around, walk back 10 feet, and sit back down in chair. No minimum or maximum value is set. Lower = better.
次要结局
- Changes in Dietary Habits: Total Added Sugar Intake(Baseline and 12 Weeks)

- Fall Efficacy Scale(Baseline and 12 Weeks)
- Changes in Quality of Life(Baseline and 12 Weeks)
- Changes in Weight(Baseline and 12 Weeks)
- Systolic Blood Pressure(Baseline and 12 Weeks)
