Summary
Sarcopenia and frailty could be prevented and rehabilitated through individual physical activities in the form of combined exercise that could be practiced at home in daily life.
Detailed description
The volunteers were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group using sealed envelopes containing documents marked with either IG (intervention group) or CG (control group). The intervention group received training, after which they demonstrated and practiced the physical activities. They were provided with an exercise leaflet for self-practice at home and were followed up by phone, LINE application, and leaders of social club for older adults at least once a week to ensure regular practice. The older adults' relatives and caregivers were also trained and encouraged to practice with them in a 1:1 match. Support techniques and warning signs for stopping or taking a break during exercise were added to each posture, along with suggestions for suitable environmental management, such as flat plains, sufficient light, and no barriers within 2 meters, to reduce the risks of accidents. However, the control group did not receive any intervention apart from general suggestions and continued with their usual daily activities.
