Objective: The study aims to understand the physical function, body composition, mental state, behavior, depression, and life quality change of the elderly in a long-term care before and after the intervention. Four interventional activities are sitting strength training, games, sitting strength training with games, and health education.
Expected results: (1) The program will facilitate arrange activities that are beneficial to the body and mind, activate bodily functions, and promote the quality of life of the elderly in Taiwan. (2) The program can compare the effectiveness of different trainings for the elderly and provide a reference for future implementation planning. (3) Evidence of the empirical study of this program can provide future comparisons with other domestic and foreign studies.
