Band Together: Randomized Control Trial

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will aim to determine the effectiveness of a strength training program using resistance bands to increase strength in adults ≥65 years old

Clinical Trial Description

Older adults in the US are in a difficult situation that is historically unprecedented. People born in 1930 were expected to live to age 59, yet they will live to an average age of 79. These dramatic survival increases, due to immunizations, antibiotics and other innovations [Centers for Disease, 2011], have occurred at the same time as dramatic reductions in daily energy expenditures, due to automobiles, washing machines and other labor-saving devices [Archer, 2013]. This has left adults living longer, yet weaker, less fit and more obese. In fact, most residents of nursing homes are not there because of dementia. Only 40% of long-term care facility residents in 2010 were diagnosed with dementia [Caffrey, 2012] and many of whom had a level of dementia which would not require nursing home placement by itself. Most residents of long-term care facilities, rather, are there because they lack the strength and fitness to care for themselves. As baby boomers retire, these factors are anticipated to greatly increase the need for long-term care, highlighted in a report from a Deloitte Consulting in 2010: "Medicaid Long-term Care: The ticking time bomb" [Keckley, 2010]. This pilot study will measure a significant increase in strength with the use of a 12 week strength training program. ;
