Testing Interventions for Mobility Through Exercise (TIME)
Sponsor: Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
Summary
In this project, the team plans to test the impact of FAST, its brief home-based strength training program which includes performance goal setting, to a program for home (BAND TOGETHER) that is similar to one offered by Silver Sneakers, available online to millions of older adults, and includes strength, balance, and aerobic exercises. The team hypothesizes that the brief program (FAST) will improve leg function better than the standard program (BAND TOGETHER), by encouraging older adults to be more consistent with using it and to try harder when they do.
