Healthy Beat Acupunch Regimen Improved Physical Fitness of Thai Older Adults in Residential Homes

The improvements in all physical fitness parameters are consistent with the principles of the meridian theory and the effects of acupoint stimulation. The combination of instructor-led and video-guided sessions helped participants consistently perform the HBA regimen. This two-phase approach aligns with previous studies supporting supervised-to-video transitions and addresses practical challenges, including healthcare worker shortages. Compared to the control group-which maintained routine activities with limited fitness gains-the HBA regimen demonstrated a more comprehensive and efficient approach for enhancing physical fitness.
