Official title
Physical Function in Older Adults in the Stay Strong, Stay Healthy Program
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The University of Missouri's Stay Strong, Stay Healthy (SSSH) program is an eight week strength training class for older adults. Exercise training programs, like SSSH, can increase muscle mass and strength, improve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and related fractures, improve diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, depression, and obesity; and increase self-confidence, sleep and vitality in older adults. Specifically, the SSSH program has been shown to increase elderly individuals' confidence in their physical abilities. The primary objective of this research study is to track physiologic changes and determine the effectiveness of the SSSH exercise intervention to improve balance and fall risk in older adults. Participant's balance, gait, muscle strength, body composition, and skeletal health will be compared to a walking group and to a sedentary control group prior to and immediately following the eight week exercise intervention. After the intervention period participants will have the opportunity to participate in an interview process to further discuss their experiences and perceptions regarding the intervention and their health.
