Abstract
Background: The global rise in older adults underscores the importance of maintaining health particularly among women who experience disproportionately higher rates of health problems.
Objectives: This study compared the effects of tele-and on-site elastic band resistance exercise (EBRE) on the Short Physical Performance Battery, Short Form-8, and vitality in older women.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Forty-eight participants were assigned to one of three groups: (1) tele-EBRE, (2) on-site EBRE, and (3) a control group. Exercises were performed twice weekly for 12 weeks. Data on Short Physical Performance Battery, Short Form-8, and vitality were collected and analyzed using nonparametric statistics (Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests) with SPSS (version 28.0).
Results: Both tele- and on-site EBRE significantly improved Short Physical Performance Battery, Short Form-8, and vitality in older women.
Conclusion: Telemedicine can facilitate the development and implementation of community-based programs such as remote exercise interventions to enhance the physical and psychological well-being of older women.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults.
In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation, are appropriate for the journal. Studies using animal models do not fit within our mission statement and should be submitted elsewhere.
