| Popis: | Translating and implementing research exercise programs that fit into the context of community service provisions could become part of the effort to reduce late-life disability. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of a staff-led 3-Step Workout for Life program by applying a logic model in a local senior living community. The academic investigator and community fitness staff worked together to modify and implement the program protocol following the logic model. The community staff recruited residents and delivered the program. Residents were eligible if they were sedentary, showed muscle weakness, and experienced difficulty in performing activities of daily living. Feasibility was evaluated with program completion and attendance rates, adverse events, physical performance, and activities of daily living. Seventeen residents (mean age = 80 years) enrolled and 13 completed the program with an average attendance rate of 95%. No severe adverse events were reported. After program completion, participants' muscle strength and gross motor coordination of the upper extremity, as well as performance and satisfaction of activities of daily living were improved. This study supported the feasibility of the staff-led 3-Step Workout for Life program to promote independence for residents at risk of late-life disability in a senior living community. |
