Overview

Observational analysis shows improved HRQoL and fitness in older adults, highlighting age and gender effects.

Key Points

  • Women and participants aged 65–69 showed significant improvements in health-related quality of life and fitness after a 24-week program.
  • The program yielded subjective health gains with a statistically significant result (p < .001, d = .45), particularly for older women.
  • Participants underwent a multidimensional training regimen, indicating its adaptability for increasing fitness levels among older adults.
  • The findings suggest the program enhances perceptions of fitness and well-being, yet no significant correlation was found between subjective and objective measures.
