The proportion of older adults is increasing worldwide and, with it, the physical inactivity common to this age group. Therefore, the promotion of active aging is a strategic factor in health policies for older people. The aim of this study was to identify the benefits and viability of the strength training program (STRENOLD) in health-related quality of life in adults over 60.
A controlled experimental study was carried out with a sample of 181 people over 60 years old from different European countries belonging to the European project IN COMMON SPORTS. A pair work strength program was administered (STRENOLD) over a period of 24 months, consisting of two single sessions per week. Their health status was evaluated (EQ-5D-5L) before and after the interventions.
The adherence rate was over 89% and the tolerability rate over 100% in all participating countries. Significant improvements in the participants' health were demonstrated in the areas of mobility, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression.
The regular practice of physical exercise, through the partnered STRENOLD strength program, has benefits on mobility, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, in short, health benefits for older adults.
全球老年人口比例不断增加,随之而来的是这一年龄段普遍存在的身体活动不足。因此,促进积极老龄化是老年人健康政策的战略因素。本研究旨在确定力量训练计划(STRENOLD)对 60 岁以上成年人健康相关生活质量的益处和可行性。
一项对照实验研究在来自不同欧洲国家的 181 名 60 岁以上的成年人中进行,这些成年人属于欧洲共同运动项目。每周进行两次单人力量训练(STRENOLD),持续 24 个月。在干预前后评估他们的健康状况(EQ-5D-5L)。
在所有参与国家,依从率均超过 89%,耐受性率均超过 100%。参与者在移动能力、日常活动、疼痛/不适和焦虑/抑郁方面的健康状况均有显著改善。
通过有伙伴关系的 STRENOLD 力量训练计划进行有规律的体育锻炼,对老年人的移动能力、日常活动、疼痛/不适和焦虑/抑郁有积极影响,也就是说对健康有好处。
