Effects of a Web-Based Intervention on Physical Activity and Metabolism in Older Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: BackgroundLack of physical activity leads to detrimental changes in body composition and metabolism, functional decline, and increased risk of disease in old age. The potential of Web-assisted interventions for increasing physical activity and improving metabolism in older individuals holds great promise but to our knowledge it has not been studied.ObjectiveThe goal of our study was to assess whether a Web-based intervention increases physical activity and improves metabolic health in inactive older adults.Met… Show more

“…Out of fifteen studies, only five specifically aim to investigate the efficacy of the interventions in increasing the level of physical activity among participants [12,13,14,15,16]. Another six studies aim to investigate the effectiveness of design components in encouraging physical activity [17,18,19,20,21,22].…”

“…Examples of objective measurements used in these identified studies include the use of RT3 accelerometer [12], ActiPED pedometer [17] or ankle/wrist-work accelerometer [16]. Subjective measurements used, on the other hand, include self-reported 7-Day Physical Activity Recall (7-D PAR) [12,19], Dutch Short Questionnaire to Assess Health Enhancing Physical Activity (SQUASH) [23,24,25] and validated Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) [14].…”
