Brief Summary

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

Sarcopenia has been defined as an age related, involuntary loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. The prevalence of sarcopenia is about 10% globally, and risk factors of sarcopenia includes age, lower physical activity, and malnutrition. Sarcopenia can lead to many adverse health outcomes, particularly in physical and cognitive functions. Most of previous studies have reported that interactive exergame can improve cognitive and physical functions in older population but none of studies use of interactive exergame on older adults with sarcopenia. Therefore, the aim of study will investigate the effects of interactive exergame on older adults with sarcopenia.

Detailed Description

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

A total of 60 older participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Participants in the experimental group will receive 40 minutes per session, 2 times a week for 12 weeks interactive exergame while those in the control group will maintain their regular activity. All participants will be assessed their physical and cognitive function, sarcopenia index and other health related outcome measurements before and after intervention program.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exergame group

The exergame group will receive exergame training for 12 weeks, 2 times a week and 60 min per session.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Interactive Exergame

Intervention Type OTHER

The one-to-one supervised training session consists of 10 min warm-up exercise, 40 min interactive exergame, and 10 min cool-down exercise. Both physical (muscle strength, coordination and balance in lower limbs) and cognitive functions (visuospatial, attention, short-term memory, calculation, reaction and executive function) will be trained through the interactive exergame.

Control group

The control group will not receive any intervention and maintain their lifestyle for 12 weeks.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Interactive Exergame

The one-to-one supervised training session consists of 10 min warm-up exercise, 40 min interactive exergame, and 10 min cool-down exercise. Both physical (muscle strength, coordination and balance in lower limbs) and cognitive functions (visuospatial, attention, short-term memory, calculation, reaction and executive function) will be trained through the interactive exergame.
