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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	multicomponent exercise training program	One supervised 60 minutes training sessions per week were organized combining warm-up, speed-walking, resistance exercise, static and dynamic balance. Supervised walking sessions were for 10-20 minutes at a target intensity of 13-15 on the Borg scale. Thereafter, 10 resistance exercises targeting lower body, trunk and upper body muscles were performed with elastic band. In addition, participants were instructed to accumulate 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity aerobic activity in bouts of at least 10 minutes, and at least 2-3 days all major muscle groups training.
