Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a structured exercise program on physical function, psychological well-being, quality of life, and spiritual well-being in hospitalized older adults. A total of 100 inpatients aged 65 years or older were assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group participated in a multicomponent exercise program during hospitalization, including resistance training, stretching, and walking, while the control group received routine care. Assessments were performed before and after the intervention using physical performance tests, questionnaires, and well-being scales. The goal is to determine whether such a program can improve mobility, daily living independence, mood, and overall well-being in older patients during hospitalization.

Multicomponent Exercise Program

Participants in the intervention group received a structured, multicomponent exercise program consisting of resistance training, stretching, and walking. The program began on the second day of hospitalization and continued until discharge, with a frequency of five sessions per week. Each session lasted approximately 30 minutes, including about 20 minutes of resistance and stretching exercises targeting major muscle groups through functional movements (e.g., sit-to-stand, leg flexion-extension) and flexibility exercises for the upper arms, back, and posterior legs, performed in 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. Each session also incorporated approximately 10 minutes of walking, with intensity adjusted according to individual tolerance.
