These RCTs have comprised exercise and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) programmes and have shown significant improvements in physical function, physical health, mental health, social function, vitality and energy/fatigue of HRQOL in the intervention groups.
These sessions will comprise exercises, games, and psychomotor practices prepared during the individual sessions.
These sessions comprise exercises for warming up followed by exercises to maintain or increase muscle strength and exercises to maintain or increase aerobic capacity.
The exercise program comprises strengthening exercises for the lower limbs, balance training in standing position, walking exercises and stretching.
The circuit program comprises four exercise circles, including exercises with the key elements: core stability/postural function; postural orientation; lower extremity muscle strength; and functional exercises.
The RT program was a whole-body program with eight exercises comprising one exercise with free weights and seven with machines, performed exactly in the following order: chest press, horizontal leg press, seated row, knee extension, preacher curl (free weights), leg curl, triceps push-down, and seated calf raise.
The circuit program comprises four exercise circles, including neuromuscular exercises with the key elements: core stability/postural function; postural orientation; lower extremity muscle strength; and functional exercises.
Part 2 Circuit program: The circuit program comprises four exercise circles, with the key elements: core stability/postural function, functional alignment, lower-extremity muscle strength and functional exercises.
From what information is available at the moment, the most promising approach should be to conduct randomized controlled studies that contain exercise programs comprising strength and aerobic exercise in combination with dietary interventions that include a supervised moderate weight loss program and/or protein supplementation.
Interventions comprising exercise and information programmes, performed among nursing home residents and hospitalised participants, have shown improvements in role-physical, role-emotional, pain and general health of HRQOL [ 7, 8].
