Filter by:The goal of this interventional study was to test the high-intensity interval training called Aphasia Physical Exercise (APEX) in healthy older adults. The main questions it aimed to answer were: 1. what is the safety and feasibility of APEX? 2. what are APEX's acute physiological effects? 3. what is APEX's effects on functional fitness? 4. what is APEX's effects on cognition? Participants underwent: - Baseline testing session (#1) with cognitive measures only (a week before the Pre-exercise session); - Pre-exercise session (#2) with maximum oxygen consumption and heart rate assessment, functional fitness and cognitive measures (3-7 days before the start of the exercise program); - APEX program, two APEX classes per week for four weeks (eight classes in total); - Post-exercise session (#3), functional fitness and cognitive measures, (0-2 days after the end of the exercise program).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a Pilates exercise intervention program on functional physical fitness in community-dwelling middle-aged women.
Frailty is a multidimensional concept that influences several domains , such as body mass decline, gait ,mobility, balance ,muscle strength ,motor processing ,cognition, nutrition endurance, and physical activity, and its directly related to adverse consequences such as falls ,disability the need for long term care , hospitalization and even mortality. As the elderly have twice as many disabilities and four times as many physical limitations as people less than 60 years of age. There is a need to focus on this demographic shift and Aging population Pakistan increasing double in 2050 hence is has become a new challenge. So, Effective approaches is needed to help older people maintain a healthy and active life. The main objective is to determine reference values of senior fitness test SFT for elderly population. The Senior Fitness Test is a battery of tests for the assessment of the functional fitness of older persons. This test will assess the physiological capacity for carrying out normal daily activities independently and safely without the appearance of fatigue. For this study cross sectional survey will conduct and will use non probability convenience sampling technique , sample size will be 500 both male and female and conducted from Heaven old age homes and Dar ul Khilafa old age home, Lahore. Inclusion criteria includes subject 60 and above , living Subjects 60 years and above, living independently (not community dwelling, hospitals, nurse homes etc ), perform ADLS. Exclusion criteria includes if not willing to participate, any medical contraindication, unable to speech ,functional disability .All the analysis will be carried out on SPSS v -25.
