Brief Summary

Aim: To evaluate the short-term effects of a multi-modal exercise program on physical performance variables in older adults.

Conditions

Community-dwelling Older Adults

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Timed 'Up-and-Go' test (TUG)

  The participants are instructed to stand up from a standard chair of 45 cm height, walk 3 metre, turn around a cone, return to the chair, and sit down again in the shortest time possible without running. Two trials are performed, and the quicker time in seconds is recorded. Shorter time indicates better performance.

  16 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Repeated chair stand test (STS-5)

  16 weeks

• One-Leg Stand test (OLS)

  16 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Experimental-Multi-modal exercise program

EXPERIMENTAL

Each home-based session (48) starts with 7 minutes of moderate warm-up exercises focusing on mobility and flexibility. Secondly, the strengthening exercises consist of knee extensions, knee flexions, hip abductions, ankle plantar flexions, and ankle dorsiflexions. Thirdly, a set of balance exercises including knee bends, backwards walking, walking and turning around, sideways walking, tandem stance, tandem walk, one leg stand, heel walking, toe walking, toe to heel walking backwards, sit-to-stand, and stair walking. Finally, participants are instructed to walk at their usual pace for at least 10 minutes.
