Brief Summary

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

This study is a multicenter intervention evaluating the effectiveness and safety of resistance training in institutionalized centenarians.

The aim of the study is to analyze the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training on frailty, muscle power, physical function, strength, functional independence, physical activity, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and quality of life in adults aged 100 and over living in nursing homes.

Detailed Description

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

Although exercise interventions have shown benefits in octogenarians and nonagenarians, their potential for improving predictors of healthy ageing has not yet been explored in institutionalized centenarians

Study Groups

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

Exercise group

The exercise group performed twice per week, nonconsecutive, resistance training over 12 weeks. Exercise sessions consisted of 1-3 sets of the 8-exercise routine at 50-70% of the estimated one-repetition maximum.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention group performed twice per week, nonconsecutive, resistance training over 12 weeks. The sessions consisted of 1-3 sets of eight exercises at 50-70% of the estimated one-repetition maximum.

Control group

The control group received the usual care in nursing homes.
