Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of exercise programs that only aerobic exercise and combination aerobic exercise and resistance exercises on the metabolic syndrome parameters in the green exercise concept.

Detailed Description

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

One hundred twenty volunteer participants aged 65 years over will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into three groups as aerobic, aerobic and resistance and control group. While a group will receive only aerobic exercise, the other group group will receive both aerobic and resistance exercises and one of the group will receive no exercise. Exercises will be held in an open and green area. At the beginning of the treatment and at the end of the twelfth week Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Triglyceride, Hdl cholesterol, Ldl cholesterol, total cholesterol and blood glucose will be evaluated.

Study Groups

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

green exercise group-1 (aerobic)

Forty participants who meet the inclusion criteria will first be given warm-up exercises for 10 minutes, then walking at a moderate intensity (65% of heart rate) for 40 minutes and then stretching exercises for 5 minutes

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

green exercise with aerobic exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Green exercise is a type of exercise done outdoors. It is an advantageous type of exercise in benefiting from sunlight and reducing anxiety. It is mostly applied in the form of brisk walking in the open air.

green exercise group-2 (aerobic+resistance)

For 40 participants who met the inclusion criteria, first 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, then 20 minutes of moderate-intensity (65% of heart rate) walking, followed by 10 minutes of low-intensity (50% of the maximum repetitions) and 10 minutes of high-intensity (80% of the maximum repetitions) resistance exercises will be applied in the presence of a physiotherapist. resistance exercises; shoulder flexors and abductors, elbow flexors and extensors, hip flexors and extensors, knee flexors and extensors, hip abductor muscle group will be performed. At the end of each session, 5 minutes of stretching exercises will also be applied.
