Official title
Feasibility of 24-Weeks of At-Home Chair-Based Resistance Band Training to Improve Balance, Strength, and Bone Density in Older Adults (ChaREx Study)
Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of implementing a 24-week at-home chair-based resistance band training intervention, to determine effectiveness of a the a 24-week at-home chair-based resistance band training intervention in improving body composition and to determine the effectiveness of a 24-week at-home chair-based resistance band training intervention in improving physical performance in adults 50 years and older, receiving care at the UT Physicians Center for Healthy Aging.
Interventions
- Device THERABand resistance exercise bands
The training will be performed using THERABand resistance exercise bands.Participants will be instructed to perform the exercises twice per week at home, for the 24 weeks duration. Each exercise session will entail 1 set of 15 repetitions of 9 different exercises
Primary outcome measures
- Feasibility as assessed by the number of people who are able to follow the prescribed exercise regimen at least 50 percent of the time [Time frame: end of study (24 weeks from baseline)]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Change in body fat [Time frame: baseline,6-months]
- Change in bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and lumbar spine [Time frame: baseline, 1 year from baseline]
- Handgrip strength [Time frame: baseline]
- Handgrip strength [Time frame: 1-month]
- Handgrip strength [Time frame: 3-months]
- Handgrip strength [Time frame: 6-months]
- 60-second balance as assessed by the the Zibrio Stability Pro scale [Time frame: Baseline]
- 60-second balance as assessed by the the Zibrio Stability Pro scale [Time frame: 1-month]
- 60-second balance as assessed by the the Zibrio Stability Pro scale [Time frame: 3-months]
- 60-second balance as assessed by the the Zibrio Stability Pro scale [Time frame: 6-months]
- walking gait speed [Time frame: Baseline]
- walking gait speed [Time frame: 1-month]
