"Bliib Fit - Mach Mit!" in Residential Care Facilities
Sponsor: Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn, if the video-based exercise program "Bliib fit - mach mit!" can be used to improve physical fitness in older adults living in residential care facilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the video-based exercise program improve participants' physical fitness? Does the video-based exercise program improve participants' quality of life, perceived fall risk, self-efficacy and daily physical activity levels? Researchers will compare this exercise program to an optimized standard care activation program (caregiver-led) to see if the video-based program can affect physical fitness in older adults living in residential care facilities. Participants will participate in the exercise or activation program for 12 weeks, four times a week, with each session lasting 20 minutes.

Video-based exercise program
The video-based exercise program - "Bliib fit -mach mit!" focuses on mobilization, muscle strengthening (focus on lower and upper extremities), coordination, balance, and relaxation. Each participant requires the use of a chair for support and to perform exercises in a seated position, if required. The group sessions are supervised by a care professional or registered activation specialist of the residential care facility.
Caregiver-led activation program
The caregiver-led activation program (DESKK- Demenzspezifisches Kurzzeitpflegekonzept) is instructed and carried out by care professionals (e.g., nursing staff) as optimized standard care conducted individually or in groups.
