Summary

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and the preliminary effects of the MIndfulness-based Physical Exercise (MIPE) intervention among community-dwelling older people with sarcopenia. The main questions are: 1) is the MIPE intervention feasible and acceptable in older adults with sarcopenia? 2) is the MIPE intervention effective to improve the adherence to physical exercise intervention, alleviate the symptoms of sarcopenia and enhance the psychological well-being of older adults with sarcopenia? To answer these questions, a MIPE intervention protocol was developed by Delphi approach and end-users' evaluation. This pilot RCT will be conducted to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and the preliminary effects of the MIPE intervention. In the parallel-group, pilot RCT, 60 community-dwelling older people aged 60 years or older diagnosed with sarcopenia will be randomized into either the intervention group receiving the MIPE intervention 2 sessions weekly over 12 weeks or the control group receiving health educations. Each session of the MIPE intervention will last about 70 minutes, including 20-min mindfulness-based intervention, 40-min physical exercise (10-min warm-up, 20-min RE, and 10-min cool down) and 10-20-min sharing and discussion. The feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness on sarcopenia symptoms and psychological well-being of the MIPE program will be assessed.

Interventions

OTHER

mindfulness-based phsycial exercise intervention

The intervention is 12 weeks, two times a week. The MIPE intervention will be conducted in a hybrid way, a combination of face-to-face and at home, by a qualified mindfulness therapist and a qualified sport coach. Specifically, the participants will attend the face-to-face sessions once every two weeks and in other weeks, they will perform the intervention at home using videos and templates. The face-to-face sessions will be conducted at the health care centre. The intervention of each session will include 1) introduce the theme of this session, 2) mini lectures about the theme; 3) mindfulness practice related to the theme; 4) tips of keeping mindfulness during PE; 5) warm up: lead with mindfulness words; 6) resistance exercise; 7) cool down: lead with mindfulness words; 8) discussion.

OTHER

health education

The number of sessions, duration, frequency, group size and delivery modality will be similar to the intervention group. The topics of the health education are the care of common diseases in the older adults, including hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, COPD, dementia, depression. Each session is about 70 min (same as intervention group), including 10-20 min lecture and 50-60 discussion and sharing.
