Study Overview
Brief Summary
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.
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.
