Abstract

Objectives: Investigating the physical and mental effects of short-term exercise program and motivation with video communication methods such as telephone and internet applications on physically inactive and sedentary older adult's daily lives.

Methods: Thirty participants were reached by video calling method. Participants were evaluated twice before and after the program. A 6-min walk test (6MWT), Barthel index for activities of daily living, Tinetti performance oriented mobility assessment (Tinetti POMA) and Geriatric depression scale (GDS) were applied. The standard daily exercise program was applied to all participants for 1 week. Exercise programs were created as endurance, strengthening, stretching and balance exercises.

Results: All participants (16 female and 14 male) completed the program. In terms of 6MWT, Tinetti POMA and GDS, a statistically significant improvement was found after the program compared to the pre-program (p < 0.001, p < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively).

Conclusions: It is possible and effective to organize exercise programs and to follow these with distance video calling applications in physically inactive and sedentary older adults.

通过视频电话进行的短期家庭运动训练对缺乏运动和久坐生活的老年人的影响。

目的：探讨短期运动计划和动机，通过电话和互联网应用等视频通信方法对缺乏运动和久坐的老年人日常生活的身心影响。方法：采用视频通话的方式对30名参与者进行访谈。参与者在项目前后分别接受了两次评估。采用6分钟步行测验（6MWT）、Barthel日常生活活动指数（Barthel index）、Tinetti绩效导向行动能力评估（Tinetti POMA）和老年抑郁量表（GDS）。所有参与者采用标准的每日运动计划，为期1周。锻炼项目被创建为耐力、力量、伸展和平衡锻炼。结果：所有参与者（16名女性和14名男性）完成了程序。在6MWT、Tinetti POMA和GDS方面，与计划前相比，计划后发现有统计学意义上的显著改善(p结论：组织锻炼计划并在不运动和久坐的老年人中使用远程视频通话应用程序是可能和有效的。

期刊介绍： The Irish Journal of Medical Science is the official organ of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. Established in 1832, this quarterly journal is a contribution to medical science and an ideal forum for the younger medical/scientific professional to enter world literature and an ideal launching platform now, as in the past, for many a young research worker. The primary role of both the Academy and IJMS is that of providing a forum for the exchange of scientific information and to promote academic discussion, so essential to scientific progress.
