Summary

The goal of this pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) was to investigate whether the provision of periodic assessment and verbal feedback during an exercise program has an effect on adherence, physical function and self-perceived competence in healthy community-dwelling older adults, aged ≥65 years.

An exercise program with periodic assessment and individualized verbal feedback was compared to the same exercise program delivered without individualized assessment and feedback to determine differences in adherence, functional performance, and self-perceived ability in community-dwelling older adults.

Participants:

* participated in a structured exercise program for 12 weeks (2times/week)
* underwent periodic assessments and received verbal feedback (intervention group only).

Conditions

  • Older Adults (65 Years and Older)
