NCT ID: NCT06401733

Last Updated: 2026-02-19

Results Overview

Pre- and post-intervention measurements were conducted to assess the Risk Stratification Score (RSS). RSS scores range from -3.4 to 6.8; higher scores represent worse outcomes.

Intervention Group
12-week Intensive Aerobic and Resistance Exercise Program (IAREP) intervention group Intensive Aerobic and Resistance Exercise Program (IAREP): IAREP is a combined aerobic exercise and resistance training program that developed by qualified exercise professionals. It encompasses a 12-week exercise intervention, conducted in a blended mode which consists of face-to-face exercise, Zoom exercise, and pre-recorded video exercise. Frequency: 3 times exercise per week. Intensity: moderate to vigorous exercise. Time of the exercise: 45-60 mins. Type of exercise: combined aerobic and resistance training. Warm-up: aerobic workout with dynamic stretch (for targeted muscles). Aerobic exercise: each session encompasses 5 exercise. Resistance training: each session encompasses 4 exercise, 2 upper body exercise and 2 lower body exercise. Cool-down: relax targeted muscles.
Control Group
Subjects that receive their usual care in Jurong polyclinic.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks

Population: Both intervention and control groups. Post-intervention of RSS scores (cutoff score of 0.3), those higher than 0.3 have a higher risk of cognitive impairment. The lower the score, the lower the risk of cognitive impairment.

Pre- and post-intervention measurements were conducted to assess the Risk Stratification Score (RSS). RSS scores range from -3.4 to 6.8; higher scores represent worse outcomes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks

Population: Both intervention and control groups.

Pre- and post-intervention measurements were conducted to assess the number of participants with change in cognitive function (Cognitive Impairment). This outcome reports the count of participants with Cognitive Impairment (CI) in each group at both assessments. A decrease in this count from Pre to Post indicates improved group cognitive function; an increase indicates worsened function. CI was diagnosed per Vascular Dementia Battery (VDB) criteria as a score below the clinical cutoff in any of its seven domains: executive function (score range 0-18), attention (score range 0-60), language (score range 0-15), verbal memory (score range 0-110), visual memory (score range 0-117), visuoconstruction (score range 0-97), and visuomotor speed (score range 0-150), where a higher score means a better outcome.

The IPAQ-SF questionnaire assesses daily physical activities by asking individuals about their engagement in vigorous activities (e.g., heavy lifting), moderate activities (e.g., carrying light loads), and walking over the past 7 days. The IPAQ-SF provides valuable insights into physical activity levels, aiding in health risk assessments and lifestyle improvements.

Pre- and post-intervention measurements were conducted. Measure the change in self-perceived ability to implement health-promoting behaviours, which include subscales of Exercise, Nutrition, Responsible Health Practice, and Psychological Well-being.
