简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate the practicality of a short-term (8-weeks), home-based digital versatile disc (DVD) chair exercise program among 40 sedentary older Black/African American and White/Caucasian veterans with three or more chronic health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and osteoarthritis.
详细描述
This study will determine the feasibility of a home-based DVD chair exercise program, "Sit and Be Fit." Participants will be asked to complete a chair-exercise program Monday through Friday. Each chair exercise session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Participants will receive a new DVD player, the exercise DVD, and the necessary exercise equipment to complete each session. The equipment includes a set of 1 pound hand weights, a 10" exercise ball, a small handball, a resistance band, an exercise log, and a satisfaction survey. Upon initial enrollment, both groups will receive a baseline health assessment that will include health-related quality of life, subjective well-being, body mass index (BMI), comorbidity, blood pressure, lower body extremity fitness, physical activity, and hand grip strength. Excluding health status, all other measures will be completed at post-assessment (the end of week 8 for Group A and Group B). The intervention group (Group A) will receive the equipment after completing eligibility screening, an informed consent, and health assessments. The waitlist control group (Group B) will receive the equipment at week 9 after the post-assessment. Group B will complete the program through week 16. The waitlist control group(Group B) will not receive an additional post assessment at the end of week 16.

结局指标
主要结局
Participants' rating of the program
时间窗: Week 10
Intervention group participants' ratings of the intervention based on open-ended questions asked during the focus group session.
Number of fitness sessions completed based on participants' activity logs - Adherence to the home-based DVD chair exercise program
时间窗: At the end of 8 weeks.
Adherence (number of fitness sessions completed based on participants' activity logs). Participants' activity logs will be used to assess subjective completion of fitness sessions.
Number of participants lost to attrition
时间窗: At the end of 8 weeks.
The number of participants lost to attrition (dropped out). This will be measured by the number of participants that have completed the entire 8 week program. Before and after each session, participants will be instructed to record the date and time the session was started and completed.
Participants' program satisfaction
时间窗: At the end of 8 weeks.
Satisfaction ratings will be assessed based on participants' satisfaction logs.
