Research shows that exercise training programmes lead to several improvements in older adults' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and well-being. This study will examine the effects of an active retirement programme on Portuguese older adults, investigating its effects on body composition, physical fitness, HRQoL, and physical activity level (PAL). Therefore, a parallel-group randomised controlled trial will be conducted, including body composition (height and body weight), physical fitness (strength, flexibility, agility, postural control, and gait), HRQoL, and PAL assessments before and after the application of the programme. The programme will be carried out for six months, two days per week (45 min), plus a year of follow-up. The programme will consist of six circuits with eight physical exercises each. The circuits will change at the end of the four weeks (one monthly circuit). The exercises' difficulty will increase throughout the programme, with alternatives for all the participants. If the effectiveness of the programme is demonstrated, implementation in different services and municipalities could be advised, as the actors involved in health and social services should promote the well-being of their citizens through, among others, health-related physical activity and the prevention of diseases associated with inactivity.
研究表明，运动训练计划能在多个方面改善老年人与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）和幸福感。本研究将考察一项积极退休计划对葡萄牙老年人的影响，探究其对身体成分、体能、HRQoL和身体活动水平（PAL）的作用。因此，将开展一项平行组随机对照试验，包括在该计划实施前后对身体成分（身高和体重）、体能（力量、柔韧性、敏捷性、姿势控制和步态）、HRQoL和PAL进行评估。该计划将持续六个月，每周两天（45分钟），外加一年的随访。该计划将由六个循环组成，每个循环包含八项体育锻炼。循环将在四周结束时更换（每月一个循环）。在整个计划中，锻炼的难度将增加，同时为所有参与者提供替代方案。如果该计划的有效性得到证实，可建议在不同的服务机构和市政当局实施，因为参与健康和社会服务的各方应通过与健康相关的体育活动以及预防与缺乏运动相关的疾病等方式，促进其公民的幸福感。
