“… 10 Fourteen papers (11 studies) defined adherence as the percentage of classes attended. 9 20–23 25 29–31 35 39 42–44 Authors calculated percentage in a number of ways. In Estabrooks and Carron 16 attendance was calculated as a percentage of total number of classes available over the 4-week period.…”

“…Twelve papers (11 studies) based adherence on duration of exercise, which was measured in a variety of different ways. 9 29 30 39 42 43 47–52 Duration adherence was often used to measure self-reported exercise that included exercise carried out within the classes and outside the classes. This was primarily used for longitudinal follow-up after a time-limited intervention.…”

“… 47 Three papers (three studies) asked participants to record the number of minutes they were physically active, 49–51 whereas five papers (four studies) asked participants to record adherence to predefined minutes, for example, 30 min, three times a week. 9 42 43 48 52 …”

Review of how we should define (and measure) adherence in studies examining older adults' participation in exercise classes

et al. 2016

Exercise classes provide a range of benefits to older adults, reducing risk of illness, promoting functional ability and improving well-being. However, to be effective and achieve long-term outcomes, exercise needs to be maintained. Adherence is poor and reporting of adherence differs considerably between studies.ObjectiveTo explore how adherence to exercise classes for older people is defined in the literature and devise a definition for pooling data on adherence in future studies.DesignMethodological review of the approaches used to measure adherence.MethodsA review of the literature was carried out using narrative synthesis, based on systematic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsychINFO. 2 investigators identified eligible studies and extracted data independently.Results37 papers including 34 studies were identified. 7 papers (7 studies) defined adherence as completion (retention). 30 papers (27 studies) identified adherence using attendance records. 12 papers (11 studies) based adherence on duration of exercise and 5 papers (4 studies) specified the intensity with which participants should exercise. Several studies used multiple methods.ConclusionsThere was little consensus between studies on how adherence should be defined, and even when studies used the same conceptual measure, they measured the concept using different approaches and/or had different cut-off points. Adherence related to health outcomes requires multiple measurements, for example, attendance, duration and intensity. It is important that future studies consider the outcome of the intervention when considering their definition of adherence, and we recommend a series of definitions for future use.

“… noted after moderate endurance programme a 17% increase in the VO 2max . Similarly, Gillett and Caserta reported in older obese patients an increase of 34% of VO 2max after 48 exercise sessions of endurance training. Older obese subjects with a lower baseline VO 2max appear to have the greatest improvement in VO 2max (21%, p < 0.001) after ET, as shown by Savage et al.…”

“…For example, 36 weeks of aerobic exercise in obese older men significantly reduced the percentage of body fat by 3% (p < 0.005) without an overall loss in body weight . A 16‐week of ET in older obese women led to reductions in the percentage of body fat (−5.9%, p < 0.05) and in BMI (−2.5%, p < 0.01) in the intervention group, without a reduction in body weight .

Health benefits of endurance training alone or combined with diet for obese patients over 60: a review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Overall, this review demonstrates a positive effect of endurance training alone or combined with diet on health outcomes and metabolic benefits in older adults. Clinicians can now use this evidence to formulate actions to encourage the older obese to profit from the health benefits of endurance training and diet. This will not only help reduce the dramatic increase in the number of older obese but also help prevent sarcopenic obesity, which is a complex challenge for healthcare professionals.
