Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to provide scientific evaluation on the effects of Promoting Healthy Aging with Sport Exercise (PHASE) Programs on the functional capacity of older. Based on the participants' mental well-being and physical health status, they will be provided with several tailored exercise intervention, including 1) football training; 2) gero-technology enhanced multi-component exercise; 3) slow sports and exercise; 4) walking exercise; 5) home-based exercise. A control group is also recruited and provided with no exercise intervention.

Detailed Description

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

This clinical trial is aimed to match a range of sport exercise to older adults who are in the different phase of transition along the continuum of intrinsic capacity, and to explore effective measures to promote healthy aging. The effectiveness of the tailored interventions will be tested among the six study arms of older adults with different intrinsic capacities, with five intervention arms and one control. Exercise intensity will be measured for each participant. The outcomes are overall health status, physical function, psychological function, and cognitive function. The outcomes are measured at baseline (pre-intervention), 3 months (post-intervention), and 6 months (post-intervention) to explore the program benefits.

Study Groups

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

Active

Gerotechnology enhanced multi-component exercise or Football training sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gerotechnology enhanced multi-component exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intervention courses will be divided into 3 categories: Musculoskeletal training course, Neuromuscular and fall prevention training course, and cardiometabolic training course. The courses will be enabled by wearable technology, digital platform and visual display. Each of the courses will be 8 weeks in length (1 session per week), and 60 minutes per session.

Football

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Football Training Programme will be arranged (10 training sessions+1 game day per stage, 4 stages per season). held on artificial turf football pitch or indoor sport facilities in 5 regions

General community-dwelling aged cohort

Gerotechnology enhanced multi-component exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gerotechnology enhanced multi-component exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intervention courses will be divided into 3 categories: Musculoskeletal training course, Neuromuscular and fall prevention training course, and cardiometabolic training course. The courses will be enabled by wearable technology, digital platform and visual display. Each of the courses will be 8 weeks in length (1 session per week), and 60 minutes per session.

Geriatric symptoms

Walking exercise and slow sports and exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Walking exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Two interventions will be provided: A) Walk-focused intervention, B) Disease-related walk intervention for participants with chronic diseases.

Slow sports and exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive 10 training sessions (once or twice per week, 2 hours per session) conducted by professional fitness instructors. The training programs can be selected according to the participants' preference, including water exercises, stretching/fitness/gymnastics, slow walking/jogging, sports massage, Tai Chi, Yoga, etc.

Chronic disease burden

Walking exercise and slow sports and exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Walking exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Two interventions will be provided: A) Walk-focused intervention, B) Disease-related walk intervention for participants with chronic diseases.

Slow sports and exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive 10 training sessions (once or twice per week, 2 hours per session) conducted by professional fitness instructors. The training programs can be selected according to the participants' preference, including water exercises, stretching/fitness/gymnastics, slow walking/jogging, sports massage, Tai Chi, Yoga, etc.

Frail

Elderly home gym training service.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home-based exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The proposed elderly home gym training services will be conducted by professional fitness instructors and tailor-made for the participants. 4 personal training sessions will be assigned (once per week, 45 to 60 minutes per session).

Control

No training session will be provided.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
