Summary

This study is a randomized trial of 100 older adults with mobility disability, who performed a similar brief daily, resistance training program. The investigators set out to answer the following question "Will a digital, brief daily exercise program be feasible, acceptable, and effective among older adults with walking limitations?" To answer that question, participants were assigned to an intervention or delayed-treatment control group. Intervention participants were assigned to complete two 30-second lower body exercises and two 30-second upper body exercises. Fitness tests were completed remotely three times during the 12-weeks (i.e., at baseline, week 6, week 12).

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Daily exercise intervention

Participants will complete four exercises each day, The first two weeks they will be instructed to complete as many repetitions as possible, each day, for 15 seconds and progressing to 30 seconds per exercise after the first two weeks. Participants are asked to increase their goal repetitions by 1 or 2 from their previous best each week. For all exercises with modifications, we will encourage participants to move to the next most difficult modification once they can do 15 repetitions of that exercise.
