Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to provide scientific evaluation on the effects of Promoting Healthy Aging with Sport Exercise (PHASE) Programs on the functional capacity of older. Based on the participants' mental well-being and physical health status, they will be provided with several tailored exercise intervention, including 1) football training; 2) gero-technology enhanced multi-component exercise; 3) slow sports and exercise; 4) walking exercise; 5) home-based exercise. A control group is also recruited and provided with no exercise intervention.

Detailed description

This clinical trial is aimed to match a range of sport exercise to older adults who are in the different phase of transition along the continuum of intrinsic capacity, and to explore effective measures to promote healthy aging. The effectiveness of the tailored interventions will be tested among the six study arms of older adults with different intrinsic capacities, with five intervention arms and one control. Exercise intensity will be measured for each participant. The outcomes are overall health status, physical function, psychological function, and cognitive function. The outcomes are measured at baseline (pre-intervention), 3 months (post-intervention), and 6 months (post-intervention) to explore the program benefits.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Gerotechnology enhanced multi-component exercise	Intervention courses will be divided into 3 categories: Musculoskeletal training course, Neuromuscular and fall prevention training course, and cardiometabolic training course. The courses will be enabled by wearable technology, digital platform and visual display. Each of the courses will be 8 weeks in length (1 session per week), and 60 minutes per session.
BEHAVIORAL	Home-based exercise	The proposed elderly home gym training services will be conducted by professional fitness instructors and tailor-made for the participants. 4 personal training sessions will be assigned (once per week, 45 to 60 minutes per session).
BEHAVIORAL	Walking exercise	Two interventions will be provided: A) Walk-focused intervention, B) Disease-related walk intervention for participants with chronic diseases.
BEHAVIORAL	Slow sports and exercise	Participants will receive 10 training sessions (once or twice per week, 2 hours per session) conducted by professional fitness instructors. The training programs can be selected according to the participants' preference, including water exercises, stretching/fitness/gymnastics, slow walking/jogging, sports massage, Tai Chi, Yoga, etc.
