Effects of Remotely Supervised Physical Activity on Health Profile in Frail Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled
Background:
Frailty is considered a major public health challenge of the 21st century, characterized by the decline of multiform body functions. Physical activity may be the most effective intervention to delay frailty. This study aims to verify the effect of remotely supervised physical activity on health profile in community-dwelling frail older adults.
Design:
This is a multicenter, three-blind, two-arm, and cohort randomized controlled study.
Methods:
The intelligent exercise rehabilitation management system (IERMS) is an integrated digital platform that involves evaluation, guidance, monitoring, and feedback. A total of 120 participants aged ≥ 65 years and diagnosed as frailty on the FRAIL scale will be recruited and randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 will receive a 12-week IERMS-based intervention, and Group 2 will receive the usual care. Data will be collected at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks. The primary outcome is the physical function, and secondary outcomes include gait parameters, psychology, and cognition measurements. Analyses will be performed using DSS statistics, version 25. P < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
Conclusion:
We believe that intervention plays a positive role in delaying the frailty. If our program is effective, we will provide a viable means to promote healthy aging in primary healthcare.
