Brief Summary

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

The aim for this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a 16-week minimal-equipment progressive resistance training program compared to usual care, in improving functional outcomes among older adults with dementia in Singapore.

Participants will:

* receive either minimal-equipment progressive resistance training or continue with usual care
* perform physical and cognitive function tests at three time-points

Study Groups

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

Progressive resistance training

Participants in the intervention arm will receive a 16-week progressive resistance training programme implemented by center staff in a community dementia daycare center.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Minimal-equipment progressive resistance training

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention consists of resistance training exercises that target major upper and lower body muscle groups with the use of portable equipment such as resistance bands and wrist/ankle weights. The exercise dosage will be progressively increased across the 16 weeks to achieve training adaptations. The exercise programme will be conducted three times per week, with each session lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Usual Care

Participants in the control arm will continue receiving the usual care provided at the community dementia daycare center.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
