With age, older adults experience a decrease in muscle function and changes in body composition, which raise the risk of functional incapacity and loss of autonomy. These declines are more pronounced in older adults living in long-term care (LTC) facilities than those living in the community (ie, sarcopeni...
The objectives of this study were to examine the impact of exercise training interventions on frailty levels in people who live in long-term care and explore the implementation science outcomes for these interventions.
Although exercise is an appealing nonpharmacological intervention for patients with dementia, the use of specialized equipment or facility in some interventions limits its translation into community settings. However, the effectiveness of minimal equipment exercise programs is unclear. We aimed to synthesi...
People with dementia are known to be physically frailer, more sedentary, and participate less in regular physical exercise compared to their healthy peers. Physical activity interventions have the potential to reduce the level of frailty in community-dwelling older adults. Exergaming combines physical exer...
