Brief Summary

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

This study investigates how balance, mobility, strength, gait speed, and health-related quality of life in older adults (65+) are affected after an 8-week training period using the Norwegian national concept for older adults, Strong and Steady, compared to a modified version that incorporates functional training variables.

Study Groups

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

Intervention

This group will use a functional training system developed specifically for elderlies to improve everyday movements, physical strength and balance.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental, comparator and control

Intervention Type OTHER

To quantify the effect of a training intervention for elderlies on improved range of motion, dynamic balance, gait speed, gait coordination, everyday movements and strength compared to a training group from the Norwegian elderly concept "Stærk og Stødig" and a control group.

Positive control

This group will use a general training system developed for elderlies to improve everyday movements, physical strength and balance.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Experimental, comparator and control

Intervention Type OTHER

To quantify the effect of a training intervention for elderlies on improved range of motion, dynamic balance, gait speed, gait coordination, everyday movements and strength compared to a training group from the Norwegian elderly concept "Stærk og Stødig" and a control group.

Negative control

Control group: A group that is not treated.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
