Summary

This protocol study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the MOVI-ageing intervention, a complex home-based eHealth intervention of cognitive-demanding exercise for the elderly, in improving: global cognitive function and basic cognitive functions and cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness. In addition, this sudy aims to evaluate the efficacy of the MOVI-ageing intervention, in improving: body composition (waist circumference and fat percentage), blood pressure, and health-related quality of life. The MOVI-ageing project has been designed in three phases comprising: i) a tool development study; ii) a 12-week randomized efficacy/feasibility trial of the intervention; and iii), a large-scale implementation phase with a 12-week randomized trial. The investigators will use a qualitative approach to improve the plataform design with the users perspective. Participants will have access to a platform where participants will be able to view videos of cognitively demanding physical exercise programs. The videos will be directed by an avatar and the research staff will be able to know the degree of compliance with the program and the correct execution of the program through the use of Physio Galenus technology. The platform will have information on how to be more active, and chat lines to communicate with the research group. Participants will receive feedback on their compliance with the routines and reinforcement messages.

Detailed description

This study will be carried out in three phases. During the first phase, the research team will conduct a literature review and focus groups to implement in the development of the online platform the information available in the scientific evidence and the needs and expectations of the people who will use it. The second phase will include the implementation of the platform and its piloting in a small sample of the population. This second phase will allow the researchers to improve the platform and its access based on the results and user experiences. During the third phase the platform will be made accessible to a larger population group to show its effect on improving cognitive function and cardiorespiratory fitness in the elderly

Conditions
