Impact of a Physical Exercise Program in a Rural Area

With this work we want to assess whether there are differences in the amount of physical activity per week, measured by accelerometry in 3 groups of subjects, where one group (G1) has been carrying out a PA program called "Enguera Sé Saludable" for a year. another group (G2) newly introduced to the same exercise program, and a control group (G3) that does not carry out an exercise program but declared itself active.

About this study

Active aging, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), involves making the most of everything that contributes to physical, mental and social well-being throughout life, thus promoting improved quality of life, functionality and longevity in the most advanced stages of life, seeking to minimize disability. To achieve active aging, older people must remain active in all aspects: physical, social and mental. For this reason, the WHO recommends that older adults engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) of 150 minutes a week The objetive, To assess whether there are differences in the amount of MVPA per week, measured by accelerometry in 3 groups of subjects, where one group (G1) had been carrying out a PA program called "Enguera Sé Saludable" for a year, another group (G2 ) newly inserted into the same exercise program, and a control group (G3) that did not carry out an exercise program but declared itself active.

Analytical quasi-experimental study, with 3 groups. A group (G1) over 59 years of age, of both sexes who have been doing PA since the year before the start of the study, within the "Enguera Be Healthy" Program in the municipality of Enguera. Another group (G2) of both sexes, newly enrolled in the same exercise program over 59 years of age. A control group (G3) of 59 years of both sexes who do not carry out the exercise program, inhabitants of Enguera and apparently active. The data analyzed was obtained from the placement of an Actigraph model GT3X BT accelerometer for a week and the collection of data from the various instruments such as the measurement of blood pressure and weight using the Tanita BC Scale. -545N, the Tinetti scale, the Time Up & Go test, the Monopodal Test, the SPPB test, the Sit to Stand Test, the Borg scale, the IPAQ questionnaire and the FHSQ questionnaire.

Treatment and study plan

exercise program

Other

Multimodal and multicompetent exercise program 2 days a week for 60 minutes and 1 day of walking exercise for 60 minutes.

Primary outcomes

  1. MVPA

    Time frame: 1 year

    Mooderate to vigorous amount of activity. Assess the amount of moderate to vigorous exercise during accelerometry for one week.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Up & Go

    Time frame: 1 year

    Evaluate basic mobility in older people and their probable gait and balance disorders. 1. Tell the elderly person to sit in the chair with their back supported by the backrest.

    • Ask the person to get up from the chair, walk at a normal pace for a distance of 3 meters, have the person turns around, walks back to the chair and sits down again. 3. Measure the time the older person takes the test. Timing begins when the person He starts to get up from the chair and ends when he returns to the chair and sits down.
    • Give a test try Normal: <10 seconds.
    • Mild mobility disability: 11-13 seconds.
    • High risk of falls: >13 seconds
  2. Tinetti

    Time frame: 1 year

    Test that analyzes certain variables to evaluate gait and balance. The higher the score, the better the performance. The highest score of the gait subscale is 12, for balance 16. The sum of both scores for fall risk. The higher the score>the lower the risk <19 High risk of falls

  3. SPBB

    Time frame: 1 YEAR

    Short Physical Performance Battery is an instrument that evaluates three aspects of mobility: balance, walking speed and strength of movement.

    limbs or lower extremities to get up from a chair. Supports the probable detection of outcomes adverse events such as mortality and institutionalization, as well as their association with disability.

  4. Sit to Stand Test

    Time frame: 1 year

    Assesses the functional strength of the lower limbs, A chair was required on a flat surface and the subject was asked not to lean on his arms to get up and sit down, therefore, he was given a test opportunity with the instruction not to lean on. The patient is informed that the test consists of performing as many repetitions as possible of getting up and sitting down in a chair during a period of 60 seconds and that the time elapsed to the tenth repetition of getting up and sitting down will be timed at the same time. .

  5. IPAQ

    Time frame: 1 year

    To estimate the level of mobility of older people. It includes seven questions that ask how often, for how long, and with what intensity the individual performed both moderate and vigorous activities during the past week, questions about time spent walking, and time spent sitting.

  6. FHSQ

    Time frame: 1 year

    Specific to foot health, measuring quality of life based on foot pain, functional competence, footwear, and overall foot health. The first section consists of 13 questions measuring. The second section consists of 20 questions with Likert-type responses in 4 items. In the last section, the individual's sociodemographic information is collected. Regarding the interpretation of the results, given that the questionnaire does not provide a total score, the individual's responses must be entered into a computer application that will quantify a score from 0 to 100, with 0 being the worst state of health and 100 being the best.

  7. Bood pressure

    Time frame: 1 year

    systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement

  8. Sex

    Time frame: o week , basaline

    Sex

  9. BMC

    Time frame: 1 year

    Body mass index
