The aim of the study was to develop the Healthy Beat Acupunch (HBA) exercise program and evaluate its feasibility for community older adults.
Stage I: The Delphi technique was used to consult 16 experts to develop the program. Stage II: A preexperimental, one-group, posttest-only design was used to pilot-test the program feasibility with 31 older adults.
After 4 weeks of interventions, participants evaluated the program based on four criteria (simplicity, safety, suitability, and helpfulness) and responded to five open-ended questions.
The developed HBA program from Stage I includes three phases with 24 motions and takes 40 minutes to complete. Program feasibility in Stage II showed average scores ranged from 8.84 ± 1.32 to 9.97 ± 0.18.
Both experts and elderly participants confirmed that the HBA program was simple, safe, suitable, and helpful to older adults.
The HBA program provides older adults with a new set of exercise options.
本研究旨在开发健康节拍叩击(HBA)运动方案,并评估其对社区老年人的可行性。
第 I 阶段:采用德尔菲技术咨询 16 名专家制定方案。第 II 阶段:采用预实验、单组、后测设计,用 31 名老年人对方案可行性进行试点测试。
干预 4 周后,参与者根据四项标准(简单性、安全性、适宜性和有益性)对方案进行评价,并回答 5 个开放性问题。
第 I 阶段开发的 HBA 方案包括 3 个阶段,共 24 个动作,完成时间为 40 分钟。第 II 阶段方案的可行性显示,平均得分范围为 8.84±1.32 至 9.97±0.18。
专家和老年参与者均确认 HBA 方案简单、安全、适宜、对老年人有益。
HBA 方案为老年人提供了一套新的运动选择。
