Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Aged 65 years old and above.
  • Orientation to place, time, and person, able to follow the simple instructions, and perform the exercises.
  • Without any health problems that would interfere with their safety or ability to complete high and low-intensity training such as the occurrence of myocardial infarction in the past six months, recent heart attack, uncontrolled hypertension (Blood Pressure >166/96 mm Hg), a broken leg in the past six months, diagnosed osteoporosis, and diagnosed stage three and four of heart failure.

Who cannot join

  • Participation in regular balance or lower body resistance training during the past three months (at least twice per week).
  • The health issues that might confound the study results, including lower- body neuropathy, stroke within the past year, Parkinson's disease, diagnosed vestibular disorders, severe vision (self-rated vision as poor or very poor even when wearing glasses or contact lenses), and lower- extremity joint replacements.
  • Taking the regular medication's impairing balance ability (Antidepressants, Neuroleptics or Benzodiazepines) or muscle strength (Corticosteroids).
  • Elderly with dementia

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Different Intensity Training on Dynamic and Static Balance of Elderly Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

In this study, investigators tried to find a useful and safe way of training for the elderly population which can help this population to improve their fitness factors as fast as possible. investigators have tried to see if different intensity training has different effects on the dynamic and static balance of elderly women in different time points (4, 8, and 12 weeks). Investigators hypothesized that Higher intensity would be more effective to improve balance at different time points. The participants were trained twice per week and each session contain 4 exercises ( leg press, leg extension, leg curl, and seated calf raises) and the data have been collected at the pre-test and 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks of intervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • High Intensity TrainingOther

    High Intensity Training group performed resistance training with the intensity of 80 - 90 % of 1RM with 4 - 6 repetition

  • Moderate Intensity TrainingOther

    Moderate Intensity Training group performed resistance training with the intensity of 65 - 75 % of 1RM with 8 - 10 repetition

  • Low Intensity TrainingOther

    Low Intensity Training group performed resistance training with the intensity of 50 - 60 % of 1RM with 12 - 14 repetition

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from Baseline in the Mean of Front Reach Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

    The distance that subject can lean forward measured in centimetre (cm) with measuring tape. The higher score is better. The minimum is 5 cm and maximum 50 cm

    Measured: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

  2. Change from Baseline in the Mean of Lateral Reach Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

    The distance that subject can lean to the side measured in centimetre (cm) with measuring tape. The higher score is better. Minimum is 5 cm and maximum is 50 cm

    Measured: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

  3. Change from Baseline in the Mean of One Leg Stand at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

    The timed that subject can stand in 1 leg recorded in second using a stop watch. The higher score is better. minimum is 1 second and maximum is 30 second

    Measured: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

  4. Change from Baseline in the Mean of Tandem Stand Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

    The timed that subject can stand one leg front and one leg back condition recorded in second using a stop watch. The higher score is better. Minimum is 1 second and maximum is 30 second

    Measured: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Intensity Training, Moderate Intensity Training and Low Intensity Training in people with Healthy Aging, run by Universiti Putra Malaysia at 1 site in Malaysia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Malaysia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from Baseline in the Mean of Front Reach Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks (time frame: Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2021.
