Key Points

To evaluate the effects of a smartphone app-based exercise program on the functional capacity of older adults under different supervision methods.
Conducted a randomized clinical trial
Participants engaged in an exercise program using a smartphone app
Groups included remote and in-person supervision for exercises
Assessed functional capacity, postural balance, and lower limb strength
Smartphone-based training significantly improved functional capacity in older adults
Both remote and in-person supervision led to comparable gains in functional capacity
Postural balance improved similarly in both supervision groups
Lower limb strength showed improvement only with in-person supervision

We only have this paper's title and publication details.

Randomized clinical trial shows smartphone training enhances functional capacity in older adults, suggesting both supervision methods are effective.
