This study assessed the Stay Strong, Stay Healthy (SSSH) level two resistance training program in 406 older adults (69.3 ± 8.1 years). SSSH included 10 exercises completed during 60 minute sessions, which were offered twice weekly for eight weeks. 30-second sit-to-stand (30STS), timed-up-and-go (TUG), flexibility, and balance poses were completed pre/post-SSSH. Paired -tests with Bonferroni corrections showed the whole group improved 30STS, TUG, flexibility, and total balance scores over time ( < .001). Repeated measures analyses of variance showed both geography and age groups improved 30STS, TUG, flexibility, and total balance scores over time (all time effects ≤ .039). Independent -tests showed rural participants improved to a similar or greater absolute extent than their urban neighbors for nearly all measures and all age groups improved to a similar absolute magnitude over time. This study demonstrates SSSH level two improves physical function in older adults and these benefits are similar across geography and age groups.
本研究评估了针对 406 名老年人（69.3±8.1 岁）的 Stay Strong, Stay Healthy（SSSH）二级阻力训练计划。SSSH 包括在 60 分钟的课程中完成的 10 项练习，每周进行两次，共进行八周。在进行 SSSH 前后，完成了 30 秒坐站（30STS）、计时起立行走（TUG）、灵活性和平衡姿势测试。经过 Bonferroni 校正的配对检验显示，整个组的 30STS、TUG、灵活性和总平衡评分随着时间的推移而提高（<0.001）。重复测量方差分析显示，地理和年龄组随着时间的推移，30STS、TUG、灵活性和总平衡评分均有所提高（所有时间效应均≤0.039）。独立检验显示，农村参与者在几乎所有指标上的改善幅度都与城市参与者相似，而所有年龄组随着时间的推移都有相似的绝对幅度的改善。本研究表明，SSSH 二级可以改善老年人的身体机能，而且这些益处在地理和年龄组之间是相似的。
