NCT06090253

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to provide scientific evaluation on the effects of Promoting Healthy Aging with Sport Exercise (PHASE) Programs on the functional capacity of older. Based on the participants' mental well-being and physical health status, they will be provided with several tailored exercise intervention, including 1) football training; 2) gero-technology enhanced multi-component exercise; 3) slow sports and exercise; 4) walking exercise; 5) home-based exercise. A control group is also recruited and provided with no exercise intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • Health status self-rated score

    Measure by EQ05D-5L (range -0.59-1.0), higher score better quality of life

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention

  • Mobility limitation score

    Measured by Short Physical Performance Battery (range 0-12), higher score better physical performance

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention.

  • Activity level

    Measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire.

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention

  • Functional mobility score

    Score measured by Life Space Assessment questionnaire (range: 0-120), higher score better performance

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention

  • Sarcopenia risk score

    Measured by Sarcopenia(SARC) questionnaire and calf circumference in unit of cm (range0-20), higher score higher risk of sarcopenia

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention

  • Hand grip strength

    Hand grip strength measured by hand-held dynamometer in unit of KG

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention

  • Loneliness score

    Measured by UCLA Loneliness Scale questionnaire (range20-80), higher score greater loneliness

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention

  • Cognitive function score

    Measured by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (range 0-30), A score of 26 or over is considered to be normal.

    Changes from baseline to 3 month and 6 month post-intervention

Control

NO INTERVENTION

No training session will be provided.

Interventions

Two interventions will be provided: A) Walk-focused intervention, B) Disease-related walk intervention for participants with chronic diseases.

Chronic disease burdenGeriatric symptoms

Intervention courses will be divided into 3 categories: Musculoskeletal training course, Neuromuscular and fall prevention training course, and cardiometabolic training course. The courses will be enabled by wearable technology, digital platform and visual display. Each of the courses will be 8 weeks in length (1 session per week), and 60 minutes per session.

ActiveGeneral community-dwelling aged cohort

The proposed elderly home gym training services will be conducted by professional fitness instructors and tailor-made for the participants. 4 personal training sessions will be assigned (once per week, 45 to 60 minutes per session).

Frail

Participants will receive 10 training sessions (once or twice per week, 2 hours per session) conducted by professional fitness instructors. The training programs can be selected according to the participants' preference, including water exercises, stretching/fitness/gymnastics, slow walking/jogging, sports massage, Tai Chi, Yoga, etc.

Chronic disease burdenGeriatric symptoms
FootballBEHAVIORAL

The Football Training Programme will be arranged (10 training sessions+1 game day per stage, 4 stages per season). held on artificial turf football pitch or indoor sport facilities in 5 regions
