Feasibility and Effects of Synchronous Online vs. Face-to-Face Multicomponent Physical Exercise in Older Nursing Home Residents: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
This pilot randomized controlled trial showed that a SO group-based physical exercise program is feasible and safe for older adults residing in NH. Preliminary findings suggest that both interventions could be beneficial to improve physical and mental health. However, significant within-group improvements in dynamic balance (8FUG) were observed only in the F2F intervention, along with a group × time interaction favoring F2F for quality of life.
