Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of a staff-delivered physical exercise program embedded into the daily lives of older adults living in nursing homes. A randomized controlled pilot feasibility study was carried out, which included quantitative, qualitative, and economic assessments at baseline, 12 weeks, and 12 months. Two nursing homes (one intervention and one control) took part. The exercise program was carried out on 3 days per week for 12 weeks and consisted of a program of Morning Movement (walking and sit-to-stand exercises) and Activity Bursts. The results confirm that the intervention and study processes are largely acceptable and feasible to implement in the nursing home setting. Potential short-term improvements in physical mobility and quality of life were noticed as positive mean changes and supported by qualitative assessment. Future randomized controlled trials should consider using the 6-meter walk test and refining nursing home and participant eligibility criteria.

体育锻炼计划融入养老院老年人日常生活的可行性和可接受性:一项试点可行性研究。

本研究的目的是测试工作人员提供的体育锻炼计划嵌入养老院老年人日常生活的可行性和可接受性。进行了一项随机对照试点可行性研究，包括基线、12周和12个月的定量、定性和经济评估。两家疗养院(一个干预和一个对照)参与了研究。锻炼计划每周进行3天，持续12周，包括晨练(步行和坐立练习)和活动爆发。结果证实，干预和研究过程在很大程度上是可接受的和可行的，在养老院设置实施。身体活动能力和生活质量的潜在短期改善被认为是积极的平均变化，并得到定性评估的支持。未来的随机对照试验应考虑使用6米步行测试，并完善养老院和参与者的资格标准。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults. In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation, are appropriate for the journal. Studies using animal models do not fit within our mission statement and should be submitted elsewhere.
