dc.description.abstract | Older adults’ physical activity (PA) is low. We examined whether eight months of resistance
training increased PA level in community-dwelling older adults receiving home care. A two-armed
cluster-randomized trial using parallel groups was conducted. The included participants were
>70 years and received home care. The resistance training group performed resistance training using
body weight, elastic bands, and water canes twice per week for eight months. The control group
was informed about the national PA guidelines and received motivational talks. The ActiGraph
GT3X+ accelerometer was used to estimate PA. Outcomes included total PA (counts per minute),
sedentary behavior (min/day), light PA (min/day), moderate-to-vigorous PA (min/day), and steps
(mean/day). Between-group differences were analyzed using multilevel linear mixed models.
Twelve clusters were randomized to either resistance training (7 clusters, 60 participants) or the
control group (5 clusters, 44 participants). A total of 101 participants (median age 86.0 (interquartile
range 80–90) years) had valid accelerometer data and were included in the analysis. There were
no statistically significant between-group differences for any of the PA outcomes after four or eight
months. This study offers no evidence of increased PA level following resistance training in older
adults with home care. | en_US |
