A Study on Muscle Strength Training Using Sit-to-Stand Velocity in Older Adults

Basic Information

Recruitment status	Pending
Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied	Sarcopenia
Date of first enrollment	26/11/2024
Target sample size	16
Countries of recruitment
Study type	Interventional
Intervention(s)	Intervention group (VBT group): The sit-to-stand training will involve measuring the stand-up speed during each session. Immediate feedback will be provided through audio feedback or numerical display of the measured values, encouraging participants to achieve their maximum possible velocity during each trial. Control group (STS group): No feedback on the stand-up velocity will be provided, and participants will stand up at their own chosen velocity.

Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome	Physical function (5-times sit-to-stand test, sit-to-stand velocity, 6-meter walking velocity)
Secondary Outcome	Physical findings: height, weight, body composition (lower limb muscle mass, skeletal muscle index)

Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Age minimum	>= 70age old
Age maximum	Not applicable
Gender	Both
Include criteria	Aged 70 years or older, regardless of gender. Capable of performing sit-to-stand movements and independent walking, with no difficulties in performing tests, measurements, and training. Persons who fit the above criteria are recruited and who agree to participate in the research after oral and documented explanations are provided.
Exclude criteria	Individuals who have declined to participate in the study. Individuals with motor or sensory paralysis or pain. Individuals with limitations in daily activities or exercise. Individuals who cannot use the INBODY770 to measure body composition (persons with implantable medical devices or medical devices necessary for life support). Individuals who are prohibited from resistance training or exercise by a physician or other health care provider.
