About this study
Official title: A Study on the Feasibility and Usability of Application-Based Exercise Prescription in the Elderly Population
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, usability, adherence, and potential effects of an application-based personalized multicomponent exercise program in older adults. Participants aged 65 years or older who are able to walk independently outdoors receive an individualized exercise program based on their baseline physical performance. The program includes resistance, aerobic, balance, and flexibility exercises delivered through a mobile application for approximately 30 minutes per session, 5 days per week, for 4 weeks. Exercise adherence is assessed using application-recorded exercise logs. Physical performance, balance, body composition, and perceived usability are also evaluated.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Application-Based Personalized Multicomponent Exercise ProgramBehavioural
The intervention consists of resistance, aerobic, balance, and flexibility exercises delivered through a mobile application. Exercise content is personalized according to baseline SPPB performance. Participants perform approximately 30 minutes of exercise per session, 5 days per week, for 4 weeks. Exercise completion is recorded through application usage logs.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Application-Based Personalized Exercise Group | Experimental | Participants receive a personalized multicomponent exercise program delivered through a mobile application for approximately 30 minutes per session, 5 days per week, for 4 weeks. Exercise content is individualized according to baseline physical performance assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Receives: Behavioral: Application-Based Personalized Multicomponent Exercise Program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Exercise Adherence Rate
Exercise adherence is calculated as the number of completed exercise sessions recorded in the application divided by the total number of prescribed exercise sessions (20 sessions), multiplied by 100. Higher percentages indicate greater adherence to the prescribed exercise program.
Measured: During the 4-week intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
System Usability Scale Score
Perceived usability of the application is assessed using the 10-item System Usability Scale (SUS). The total SUS score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater perceived usability.
Measured: At the end of the 4-week intervention
