The effect of 8 weeks Multi-Component program (VIVIFRAIL) on gait, balance and quality of life in the elderly with slight limitation

Evaluation of 8 weeks Multi-Component program (VIVIFRAIL) on gait, balance and quality of life in the elderly with slight limitation

A randomized, controlled clinical trial with two experimental and two control groups on 34 subjects. The Random.org website was used for randomization.

This study is applied in terms of its objective and prospective in terms of its timeframe. It will be conducted using a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test format and two groups: experimental and control. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The experimental group will undergo multicomponent training based on the Vivitrail protocol for a duration of 8 weeks, while the control group will receive no intervention. The variables of gait, balance, and quality of life will be assessed before and after the intervention. Practices and exams will be held at the Kerman Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences.

Inclusion criteria: Having a minor limitation in the screening test Elderly people aged 60 to 75 years Female gender Informed consent from the elderly to participate in the study No history of stroke or inner ear disorders (39). No answer to any of the questions on the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ) was yes (39). Ability to walk independently (39). Exclusion criteria: Number of absences of more than 3 sessions during the protocol implementation stages Non-attendance at the pre-test and post-test Sedatives or any type of medication affecting the subjects' balance or cognitive status

The experimental group will perform multi-component exercises based on the vivifrail protocol for 8 weeks, and the control group will not receive any intervention during this period.

Balance Spatial and temporal parameters of gait Quality of life

To select subjects in the first stage, explanations about the purpose of the research and its implementation will be provided orally to assess the participation of volunteers for cooperation. After receiving written consent, the individual and physical fitness of the participants will be assessed by completing questionnaires and interviews. Based on the results, those who did not meet the necessary conditions (such as a history of surgery or serious injury) were excluded from the study process. Finally, 34 people who are eligible for the study will be purposefully selected and, after a pre-test, will be randomly divided into two training and control groups (each group includes 17 people) through the RANDOM.ORG website.

In this section, the shared data will pertain to the primary outcomes of the study and general participant characteristics. The data will be anonymized, removing any personally identifiable information, and will be available in aggregate form for future research or scientific collaboration. Information including primary outcome measures, such as gait, balance, and Quality of life, will be made publicly accessible.

The data will be publicly available six months after the publication of the study results. This period allows sufficient time for data analysis and necessary reviews.

The data and documentation of this study will be available to researchers affiliated with academic and scientific institutions. Additionally, researchers working in industry or other related fields may also request access to the documentation, provided that their intended use is for scientific research and the advancement of knowledge in the field of elderly exercise.
