Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to provide scientific evaluation on the effects of Promoting Healthy Aging with Sport Exercise (PHASE) Programs on the functional capacity of older. Based on the participants' mental well-being and physical health status, they will be provided with several tailored exercise intervention, including 1) football training; 2) gero-technology enhanced multi-component exercise; 3) slow sports and exercise; 4) walking exercise; 5) home-based exercise. A control group is also recruited and provided with no exercise intervention.
Description
This clinical trial is aimed to match a range of sport exercise to older adults who are in the different phase of transition along the continuum of intrinsic capacity, and to explore effective measures to promote healthy aging. The effectiveness of the tailored interventions will be tested among the six study arms of older adults with different intrinsic capacities, with five intervention arms and one control. Exercise intensity will be measured for each participant. The outcomes are overall health status, physical function, psychological function, and cognitive function. The outcomes are measured at baseline (pre-intervention), 3 months (post-intervention), and 6 months (post-intervention) to explore the program benefits.
