Effects of a Multicomponent Exercise Program on Frailty, Cognitive Function, and Sleep Quality in Older Adults
Sponsor: Neslihan Lok
Summary
This study was aimed to examine the effects of participation in a 12-week multicomponent exercise program on frailty, cognitive function, and sleep quality among older adults. The primary research questions of this study are as follows: 1. Is a multicomponent exercise program effective in reducing frailty levels in older adults? 2. Is a multicomponent exercise program effective in improving cognitive functions (memory, attention, and executive functions) in older adults? 3. Is a multicomponent exercise program effective in improving sleep quality in older adults? The study hypothesizes that participation in a multicomponent exercise program will lead to a reduction in frailty levels, improvement in cognitive functions, and enhancement of sleep quality among older adults. Researchers were compared the multicomponent exercise program to a control group (no intervention) to see if the multicomponent exercise program works on frailty, cognitive function, and sleep quality among older adults. Intervention group participants were: \- attended the multicomponent exercise program, 12-week period, with sessions held twice weekly, each lasting 45-60 minutes, in groups of 6-8 participants at a municipally affiliated healthy living center under nurse supervision.

The Multicomponent Exercise Program
The program is conducted twice a week for 12 weeks, in sessions lasting 45-60 minutes each, at a municipal health center, in groups of 6-8 people, and under the supervision of a nurse. Each exercise session consists of four phases: warm-up, aerobic exercise, strength and balance training, and cool-down. The warm-up phase includes light-paced walking and range of motion exercises; the aerobic phase involves moderate-intensity walking and rhythmic movements; the strength and balance exercise phase uses resistance bands and light weights to target upper and lower extremity muscle groups; and exercises aimed at improving postural stability through functional activities such as sit-to-stand, single-leg standing, and tandem walking. The cool-down phase includes static stretching exercises, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques.
