Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Researcher led interviews will focus on the participants perceptions of the activities and decision making of exercise selection by selecting components that they are confident to perform which is a key element to creating a practical and enjoyable exercise programme for the older population. This will co-create an intervention that is accessible, acceptable, and appropriate for older adults.
The study will establish the physical impact and practicalities of a novel elastic band resistance exercise intervention in older adults by performing force plate posturography and researcher led interviews that will focus on the participants perceptions of the activities and intensity levels to co-create an intervention that is accessible, acceptable, and appropriate for older adults.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
intensity. Participants will be asked to simply perform the exercises not at any specific intensity. Force plate posturography measurements will be recorded before and immediately after and 30 minutes after the exercise intervention. The other quantitative measures (heart rate, rate of perceived exertion) will be recorded throughout the intervention and one-to-one interviews using a semi structured interview guide will be performed at the end of each session. The session order will be randomized for each participant to counterbalance the outcome which emerge from the study.
Participant preparation will include a detailed invitation to attend and briefing using a pre-prepared participant information sheet. Participants will be required to complete and return an International physical activity questionnaire, Falls efficacy scale, Confidence in maintaining balance and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living form.
Upon arrival of each session participants will be required to read and sign an informed consent form, a general health screen questionnaire and mini mental state examination. Participants will be required to complete all 3 sessions which will be supervised in the Kirtley building laboratory at the University of Derby (3 x experimental trial). Instructions will be provided for participants to abstain from alcohol and caffeine for a minimum of 12/24 hours respectively and avoidance of strenuous exercise for at least 72 hours prior to participation.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Hip Region
Pre intervention: Force plate Posturography Pre selected exercises (8) will be performed by the participant using an elastic resistance band anchored from ground level and placed the hip region.
Warm up: 5-10 mins
Exercises:
Forward step, forward tandem steps, forward tandem hold, Upper body rotation, side steps. backward step, backward tandem walk, backward tandem hold. Cool down. Post intervention- Force plate Posturography and a Semi-structured Interview schedule
A repeated measures acute study using using elastic resistance bands in older adults to challenge stability.
A repeated measures acute study using using elastic resistance bands in older adults to challenge stability. Exercises with an elastic resistance band anchored from the ground and placed at the hip and chest region will be trialled. Bertec force plate analysis will be performed to assess the acute effects on balance and stability. A semi- structured interview will identify the impact and practicalities of the intervention. The information will be used in the development of an evaluation process with key consideration of the planning phase of the intervention. Questions with verbal cues to provide perceptions of the exercise selection such as likes/ dislikes, safety, confidence, difficulty, enjoyment and band placement will be asked to determine the acceptability, accessibility, appropriateness and usability of the protocol and build insights into the participant preferences.
Chest Region
Pre intervention: Force plate Posturography Pre selected exercises (8) will be performed by the participant using an elastic resistance band anchored from ground level and placed the chest region (using velcro on a chest harness/training vest).
Warm up: 5-10 mins
Exercises:
Forward step, forward tandem steps, forward tandem hold, Upper body rotation, side steps. backward step, backward tandem walk, backward tandem hold. Cool down. Post intervention- Force plate Posturography and a Semi-structured Interview schedule

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Moderately Physically active (this will be determined by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) prior to participation of the study. A score of at least 600 MET-min/week (moderate physical activity level) will be required to take part in the study.
* Ability to walk without a walking aid
* Ability to provide consent. This will be determined by using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) a score of under 23. The MMSE will assess cognitive function using scoring to ensure that participants are not cognitively impaired
Exclusion Criteria
* Individual that have serious, unstable cardiovascular conditions such as recent acute myocardial infarction; congestive heart failure; uncontrolled hypertension; serious musculoskeletal or neurologic conditions (including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, acute stroke, paresis of the lower limbs and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
* Individuals with acute respiratory tract infection or chronic lung disease (e.g. asthma and obstructive pulmonary disease).
* Individuals that are not physically active (METs score under 600 MET-min/ week). have severe cognitive impairment (inability to follow simple training instructions; and acute respiratory tract infection or chronic lung disease (e.g. asthma and obstructive pulmonary disease).
* Individuals that are unable to provide consent. This will be determined by using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
