A 12-week exercise and nutrition program was feasible for adults with disabilities in rural Korea. Participants showed modest improvements in physical performance, indicating potential benefits for this population.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Community-dwelling adults with disabilities often face barriers to accessing health programs.
  • Tailored interventions are needed to improve physical performance and well-being in this demographic.
  • Rural settings present unique challenges for healthcare delivery and program accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a 12-week group-based exercise and nutrition program.
  • To assess preliminary effects of the program on physical performance in adults with disabilities.
  • To explore the potential of community health centers in delivering such interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A single-arm pilot study design was employed.
