A Hybrid Effectiveness-implementation Evaluation on Programs Promoting Healthy Aging With Sport Exercise (PHASE Program)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Active Gerotechnology enhanced multi-component exercise or Football training sessions. |
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: Football
The Football Training Programme will be arranged (10 training sessions+1 game day per stage, 4 stages per season). held on artificial turf football pitch or indoor sport facilities in 5 regions
|
| Experimental: General community-dwelling aged cohort Gerotechnology enhanced multi-component exercise. |
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.
|
| Experimental: Geriatric symptoms Walking exercise and slow sports and exercise. |
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.
|
| Experimental: Chronic disease burden Walking exercise and slow sports and exercise. |
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.
|
| Experimental: Frail Elderly home gym training service. |
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).
|
| No Intervention: Control No training session will be provided. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Health status self-rated score [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention]
Measure by EQ05D-5L (range -0.59-1.0), higher score better quality of life
- Mobility limitation score [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention.]
Measured by Short Physical Performance Battery (range 0-12), higher score better physical performance
- Activity level [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention]
Measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
- Functional mobility score [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention]
Score measured by Life Space Assessment questionnaire (range: 0-120), higher score better performance
- Sarcopenia risk score [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention]
Measured by Sarcopenia(SARC) questionnaire and calf circumference in unit of cm (range0-20), higher score higher risk of sarcopenia
- Hand grip strength [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention]
Hand grip strength measured by hand-held dynamometer in unit of KG
- Loneliness score [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention]
Measured by UCLA Loneliness Scale questionnaire (range20-80), higher score greater loneliness
- Cognitive function score [Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention]
Measured by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (range 0-30), A score of 26 or over is considered to be normal.
