Background:
Although the benefits of sustained exercise for cardiopulmonary health in older adults are well-established, it remains unclear which specific groups of older adults benefit most from exercise.
Aim:
We aimed to explore the relationship between baseline characteristics and peak oxygen uptake (peakVO
Design:
This was single-arm pre-post cohort study of exercise intervention, with post hoc dichotomization by responses of peakVO
Setting:
The study was conducted primarily at the geriatric rehabilitation clinic of Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital.
Population:
A total of 151 community-dwelling older adults with good functional status, with a mean age of 69 years.
Method:
All participants underwent individualized, center-based, multicomponent exercise under supervision. And collecting data on functional oxygen uptake gain (ΔVO
Results:
151 and 91 participants were included in the 1-year and 2-year analysis, respectively. At baseline, the mean ΔVO
Conclusions:
Older adults with lower ΔVO
Clinical Rehabilitation Impact:
Older adults with low baseline ΔVO
