Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether a physical exercise program in nursing homes will maintain autonomy in activities of daily living, decrease vulnerability and improve physical, psychological and cognitive condition. An individualized and progressive multi-component physical exercise program focused on function has been designed to achieve this objective.

Participant will engage in an exercise program for 6 months in their nursing homes, in two sessions per week of 45-60 minutes

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary aim:

The major aim is to ascertain whether multicomponent exercise program focused on function can maintain autonomy in older adults living in nursing homes.

Secondary aims:

* To ascertain the influence of the evaluated exercise program on frailty, physical, psycho-affective and cognitive conditions in older people living in nursing homes.
* Analyze if the influence that the exercise program has had on dependence, frailty, physical, psycho-affective and cognitive condition is maintained after 6 months since the end of the program
* Examine the influence that the exercise program has on different clinical outcomes: falls, hospitalizations, visits to emergency service, the level of dependence, etc.

Design: experimental, multi-center and single-group physical exercise intervention

Intervention:

Combined multicomponent physical exercise program that includes strength, balance and flexibility exercises and performed in long term care homes focused on functionality on activities of daily living.

The first 3 months the exercise program aims to restore the physical condition through the multicomponent exercise program. Feasibility and safety of the multicomponent exercise program were ascertained in a previous study (Arrieta et al., 2018; Rodriguez-Larrad et al., 2017). This program will comprise of upper and lower body strengthening exercises, using external weights for 2-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions at a progressive incremental intensity of 30-50% of 1Repetition Maximum (RM). In addition, static balance and flexibility exercise will be performed.

From 3th to 6th months, the objective will be to improve autonomy in daily live activities through the functional exercise program. Strength exercises will be maintained with external weights and the intensity will be increased to 60-70% of 1-RM, 2-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions. Attention tasks, temporal space dissociation and dynamic balance exercises will be added to increase the difficulty and intensity in balance exercises. Flexibility and fine handle will be also performed.

This intervention is individualized for each participant and is adjusted progressively during the 6 months. Weekly, two sessions of one hour are held and are supervised by physiotherapists or specialists in sports sciences trained specifically for the program. An interval of at least 48h between training sessions will be respected.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multicomponent physical exercise program

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention consists of a combined multicomponent exercise program (EP) carried out for 6 months that includes strength, balance, flexibility and functional exercises aimed to improve functioning on daily life activities. The EP will be divided into two parts:

The first 3 months the EP aims to restore the physical condition through the multicomponent exercise program. This program will comprise of upper and lower body strengthening exercises, using external weights for 2-3sets of 8-12repetitions at a progressive intensity of 30-50% of 1RM. In addition, static balance and flexibility exercise will be performed.

From 3th to 6th months, the objective will be to improve autonomy through the functional EP. Strength exercises intensity will be increased to 60-70% of 1-RM, 2-3sets of 8-12repetitions. Attention tasks, temporal space dissociation and dynamic balance exercises will be added to increase the intensity in balance exercises. Flexibility and fine handle will be also performed
