Exercise intervention activities successfully engaged 216 older adults aged 66-74 through 23 on-site and online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Exercise interventions, including low-load resistance training, could be successfully conducted both on-site and online during the COVID-19 pandemic to counteract frailty and sarcopenia.
Objective Resistance training has been recommended as an effective method for protecting against frailty and sarcopenia, and we found that a low-load resistance training program could also be effective. During implementation of the exercise program in society, the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. The World Health Organization defined COVID-19 as a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020 and declared an end to the global emergency on May 5, 2023. The purpose of this study was to summarize the exercise intervention activities we implemented during this period.
SAWADA et al. (Thu,) conducted a other in Older adults aged approximately 66-74 engaging in exercise interventions for frailty and sarcopenia prevention during the COVID-19 pandemic (n=216). Low-load resistance training exercise classes was evaluated on Feasibility and implementation of exercise intervention activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exercise intervention activities successfully engaged 216 older adults aged 66-74 through 23 on-site and online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
