Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to determine the effect of hemsball activity on balance, kinesiophobic attitudes, and frailty levels in older male individuals. The research was conducted as a parallel-group pre-test-post-test randomized controlled trial. The reporting of the study utilized the CONSORT 2017 extension evaluating non-pharmacological interventions. The study was conducted with 86 older male individuals using a parallel-group pre-test-post-test randomized controlled trial design. The hemsball activity was structured by the research team and lasted for eight weeks, three days a week, for 60 minutes each day. Data were collected using pre-tests planned before randomization, immediately after obtaining written consent from the individuals, and post-tests in the eighth week of the study. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Berg Balance Scale, the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and the Edmonton Frailty Scale. Data were analyzed using a generalized linear model. This research found that hemsball activity is an effective intervention in improving balance and reducing kinesiophobia and frailty in older male individuals. Through this research, a new type of intervention that improves balance and reduces kinesiophobia and frailty levels in older individuals has been added to the literature.

Study Groups

Intervention

Hemsball group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental: Hemsball

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention program was developed within the theoretical framework of the book "Hemsball for All Ages," and expert opinions were sought from both the author of the book and the president of the Hemsball Federation. The program was conducted in groups, and game times were determined for each group. The program continued with groups of five individuals per hour, totaling 10 people, and lasted approximately five hours over half a day with 44 individuals. The older people participants in the Hemsball activity followed the principle of continuity for eight weeks, three days a week, with 60 minutes of Hemsball activity each day.
