Brief Summary

Bio-healthy parks are an alternative for practicing physical activity outdoors and free of charge. However, there is no research that analyzes the effect of a planned training program in these parks. There are two types of parks under development, with and without externally added resistance. Therefore, general objective of this project are to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of targeted training in bio-healthy parks on body composition, bone mineral density, blood pressure, strength, functional capacity, sarcopenia, sagittal disposition of the spine, quality of life, life satisfaction and Mediterranean diet adherence in adults and older adults. The present project will be developed through a randomized controlled trial, with 1 experimental and 1 control group, with pre-test and post-test, with intra-group and inter-group analysis for each of the dependent variables of the study. It will be measure body composition, bone mineral density, blood pressure, upper limb strength, lower limb strength, functional capacity, sarcopenia, sagittal disposition of the spine, Health-related quality of life, satisfaction with life and Mediterranean diet adherence. Experimental group will receive the exercise program on bio-healthy park machine with a frequency of 2 sessions per week of 55 minutes for 8 weeks. The control group will not perform any intervention program following their usual activity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Muscle quality sarcopenia

  Sarcopenia will be assessed taking into account the reference values established for muscle quality. The muscle quality will be measure by hand grip strength test. This test will be performance with manual dynamometry (TKK 5401; Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Maximal isometric upper limb strength will be performance by maximal isometric strength. Upper strength will be register by kilogrammes. Higher value show high strength.

  Changes from baseline to 8 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Bio-Healthy Park

EXPERIMENTAL

This group is the experimental group. The intervention program consisted in the realization of the program on bio-healthy machinery.

Behavioral: Bio-healthy Park

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Adults and older assigned to the control group will not received any structured exercise programme. They will maintain their usual physical activities.

Interventions

Bio-healthy Park BEHAVIORAL

Experimental group will receive the exercise program on bio-healthy machinery with a frequency of 2 sessions per week of 55 minutes for 8 weeks. Experimental group 1 will perform the intervention program using machinery designed for self-loading use. The machines used will be rider, low gemini, high gemini, walk, bottoms, flywheels circles, flywheels rotation, twin swing, surf, swing press and rowing. Intensity will be controlled by subjective perception of effort and heart rate (Polar 420). There will be a warm-up 8-10 minutes, a main part 40-45 minutes and a return to calm 5-10 minutes. The intervention programs will be developed by a graduate in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences. The load will be progressed every 2 weeks.
