About this study
Objective To explore the effects of the chair-bound exergaming on the enjoyment of physical activity in in pre-frail/ frail nursing home residents.
To evaluate the effects of the chair-bound exergaming in improving physical and cognitive function in pre-frail/ frail nursing home residents.
Research plan and methodology Thirty nursing home residents will be recruited from the nursing homes.
All the eligible participant will be randomly allocated to either one of the following 2 groups (i) Exergaming (intervention group), or (ii) wait list control.
- Intervention group (exergaming group, ERG) Those allocated to the ERG will receive supervised chair-bound exercise programme for 12 weeks.
- Control group (wait list control, CG) Those allocated to the CG will receive supervised chair-bound exercise programme for 12 weeks after post-assessment.
