“…In comparison to the results of these two studies (Luukinen et al 2006;Serra-Rexach et al 2011), the current investigation showed significant improvement in physical function between pre-and post-test results in oldest-old adults. Moreover, relative to two studies on short-term, light-to moderate-intensity exercise (50 min, 3 times per week for 8 weeks) and home-based walking training (5 times per week), the KEP exercise protocol (40 min, 3 times per week for 6 months) appears to be more readily achievable for oldest-old adults.…”

“…In oldest-old adults, short-term, light-to moderateintensity exercise (50 min, 3 times per week for 8 weeks) and home-based walking training (5 times per week) was not effective for improving physical function as examined by leg press, gait speed, and balance (Luukinen et al 2006;Serra-Rexach et al 2011). In comparison to the results of these two studies (Luukinen et al 2006;Serra-Rexach et al 2011), the current investigation showed significant improvement in physical function between pre-and post-test results in oldest-old adults.…”

“…Progressive moderate-to high-intensity group programs including balance, jumping, and lower limb strength exercises can maintain or even improve the physical function of healthy older women aged 65 to 80 years (Korpelainen et al 2006;Karinkanta et al 2010). On the other hand, studies by Luukinen et al (2006) and Serra-Rexach et al (2011) in oldest-old adults demonstrated that muscle strength exercise did not improve physical function. All of the aforementioned exercise studies targeted adults aged 65 to 99 years, whereas studies investigating the effectiveness of aerobic exercise interventions specifically in old-old (75-84 years) and oldest-old (≥ 85 years) age groups are scarce.…”

The effect of aerobic exercise on physical function and mental health in various adult age groups (young-old, 65-74; old-old, 75-84; oldest-old, ≥ 85 years) is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Kohzuki Exercise Program (KEP) on physical function and mental health in these age groups. The KEP consisted of 40-min supervised sessions 3 times per week for 6 months as follows: 5 min of warm-up, 30 min of lower limb aerobic exercise, and 5 min of cool-down. A total of 50 participants (22 young-old, 20 old-old, and 8 oldest-old) who participated in the KEP completed at least 88% of the sessions. In statistical analysis, 3 (group: oldest-old, old-old, young-old) × 2 (time: baseline and after 6 months) analyses of variance were used to determine if there were significant main and interaction effects. Significant interactions were probed using the post-hoc paired t test. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score showed significant group × time interactions after 6 months (p = 0.031). In the post-hoc test, oldest-old (p < 0.001), old-old (p < 0.001), and young-old (p < 0.01) groups had significantly better physical function after 6 months. However, none of the mental health measures showed group × time interactions at 6-month. Our results suggest that a 6-month KEP led to improved physical function in oldest-old, old-old, and young-old adults. The KEP was effective for oldest-old adults in particular. The KEP exhibits good adherence, making it suitable for a wide age range in society.

“…Five interventions were single-component, focusing mainly on lower extremity strength (Boshuizen et al 2005;Chandler et al 1998;Jette et al 1999;Latham et al 2003;Ota et al 2007). The other seven were multi-component, addressing a variety of physical parameters such as endurance, flexibility, balance, and strength (Binder et al 2002;Chin A Paw et al 2001;Gill et al 2002;King et al 2002;Luukinen et al 2006;Timonen et al 2006;Worm et al 2001). All interventions were offered by professionals in physical exercise, mostly physical therapists.…”

“…All interventions were offered by professionals in physical exercise, mostly physical therapists. In most studies, participants performed at least three exercise sessions a week (Binder et al 2002;Boshuizen et al 2005;Chandler et al 1998;Gill et al 2002;Jette et al 1999;King et al 2002;Latham et al 2003;Luukinen et al 2006;Timonen et al 2006;Worm et al 2001). Strength training was usually comprised of a number of exercises for improvement of lower body strength using weights (Latham et al 2004), elastic bands (Boshuizen et al 2005;Chandler et al 1998;Jette et al 1999), or training machines (Ota et al 2007).…”

Interventions to prevent disability in frail community-dwelling older persons: an overview

et al. 2010

This narrative review was conducted to provide an overview of the variety of interventions aimed at disability prevention in community-dwelling frail older persons and to summarize promising elements. The search strategy and selection process found 48 papers that met the inclusion criteria. The 49 interventions described in these 48 papers were categorized into 'comprehensive geriatric assessment', 'physical exercise', 'nutrition', 'technology', and 'other interventions'. There is a large diversity within and between the groups of interventions in terms of content, disciplines involved, duration, intensity, and setting. For 18 of the 49 interventions, significant positive effects for disability were reported for the experimental group. Promising features of interventions seem to be: multidisciplinary and multifactorial, individualized assessment and intervention, case management, long-term follow-up, physical exercise component (for moderate physically frail older persons), and the use of technology. Future intervention studies could combine these elements and consider the addition of new elements.
