Staying alive, staying strong: pilot evaluation of a once-weekly community-based strength training program for older adults

Abstract: Weekly, community-based strength training programs show promise in improving the functional capacity, including the strength, of older adults. More thorough evaluation is now required to confirm these findings.

“…The second aim of the current study was to examine whether the ACE and UCP2 gene influenced the training related responses in older adults' functional performance. The training program used in the current study appeared effective as the magnitude of the training related changes for the Functional Fitness Test battery outcomes was relatively consistent with that reported for other community-based older adult exercise programs (Bates et al 2009;Belza et al 2010;Henwood et al 2013). Inspection of the data revealed little evidence for the ACE or UCP2 gene alleles to have any significant effects on the training-related changes in the outcome measures assessed in this study.…”

“…Ту су три категорије старијих жена (60-64, 65-69, 70-74 године) постигле натпросеч-ни ниво перформанси (табела 2). Штавише, ови резултати показују број старијих жена у изабра-ним нивоима перформанси (табеле 3,4,5,6,7,8).…”

“…Смањени распон покрета у раменом појасу такође може довести до бола и нестабилности држања (Macedo, & Magee, 2008) и сматра се да проузрокује значајан инвалиди-тет код чак 30% здраве одрасле популације пре-ко 65 година старости (Chakravarty, & Webley, 1993). Дугорочно редовно, али такође и кратко-рочно вежбање и физичке активности могу успо-рити овај негативни развој (Tekur, Nagendra, & Raghuram, 2008;Bates, Donaldson, Lloyd, Castell, Krolik, & Coleman, 2009).Снага доњег дела тела је неопходна за ак-тивности као што су, пењање уз степенице, дуго ходање, устајање са столице или излажење из каде. Агилност и динамичка равнотежа заједно, такође су важни за бројне уобичајене моторичке задатке који захтевају брзо менаврисање попут благовременог улажења и излажења из аутобуса, склањања с пута, како би избегли ударе аутомоби-ла итд.…”

“…Though little is known about exercise motivation in persons with SSDs, studies have documented significant similarities in the causes of inactivity between elderly persons and those with SSDs, including lack of motivation (Archie et al2003; Dishman, 1994; Resnick & Spellbring, 2000;), coexisting disease states (Green et al 2000; Morey, Pieper & Cornoni-Huntley, 1998), unpleasant exercise sensations (Beebe & Smith, in press; Resnick, 1998), cognitive deficits (Alexopoulos et al2005; Bacon, Izaute & Danion, 2007; Bates et al 2009; Bilder et al2006; Bowie & Jaga, 2007; Kiosses & Alexopoulos, 2005) and lack of knowledge regarding exercise benefits (Dishman, 1994; Green et al 2000; Vreeland et al 2003). We believe these similarities make using measures of exercise attitudes developed for elders a reasonable first step in our examination of attitudes associated with exercise behavior in persons with SSDs.…”
