Brisk Walking Study in Nursing Home Residents

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

It is well established that physical activity reduces the physiological effects of ageing. Among them, the decrease of the autonomic nervous system activity (ANS) is associated with the increase of cardiovascular events and sleep disorders occurence. It has been shown that high intensity cycle training can enhance the ANS activity by 30% in people aged of 70 years old. However, such trainings were done by old athletes used to train at intensities that could not be handled by nursing home elderly. Thus, an adapted activity such as brisk walking shall be defined to make it practicable for the many in convalescent homes. The investigators hypothesize that long term brisk walking training could lead to reactivate ANS in people living in convalescent homes.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators aim to compare the effects of a 9 month brisk walking training (1 time a week or 3 times a week) on the ANS of nursing home residents. ;
