No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this clinical trial is to understand the efficacy of a targeted exercise program (Otago exercise program+Strength training) in elderly people with prefrailty and sarcopenia. The trial aims to answer the following main questions:

* Is OEP+ST effective in elderly people with prefrailty and sarcopenia?
* In what areas did participants improve during the OEP+ST intervention?

Researchers will randomly assign participants to an experimental group (OEP+ST) and a control group (daily care only) for comparison to see the effects of this intervention.

Participants in the EG group will:

* Exercise 3 times a week for 1 hour each time (including 10 minutes of warm-up, 40 minutes of exercise and 10 minutes of stretching) At the same time, it is necessary to walk for 30-40 minutes three times a week. It lasts for three months.
* Test and record their condition (including frailty, body composition, physical function, quality of life) before and after the experiment.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

Cardiorespiratory exercises include walking at a normal pace for 30 minutes three times a week, or three 10-minute sessions. The resistance exercises involve five leg muscle strengthening exercises, including knee extensors, knee flexors, hip adductors, ankle plantar flexors, and ankle dorsolflexors, performed 8-10 times, 1-2 sets, 3 times a week, with 1 day intervals in between. Balance training includes 12 exercises such as kneeling, walking backwards, walking and turning, walking sideways, tandem standing (heel-toe standing), tandem walking (heel-toe walking), standing on one leg, walking on the heel, and walking on the tip of the foot. Only 1 set of 1 exercise, 3 times a week, 1 day interval in between. Add 4 upper body strength exercises and 4 lower body strength exercises to the OEP, using water bottles and elastic bands as AIDS. Each movement is completed 8-12 times, 1-3 sets, 3 times a week, 1 day apart.
