What this study is about

The Active Older Adults prospective cohort study examines the effects of a park-based fitness program on cardiovascular fitness outcomes for older adults (aged 50 years and older). Duke will perform a secondary analysis of the data collected as part of the Active Older Adults prospective cohort study run by Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

Active older Adults

Behavioral

The program entails one-hour sessions two or three times per week including aerobic workout, strength training, balance and flexibility exercise delivered online or in-person. Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation is the sponsor of the Active Older Adults prospective cohort study. Duke is conducting a secondary data analysis on data collected as part of the Active Older Adults study.

Primary outcomes

Change in Body mass index (height and weight)Baseline, 12 months, 36 months

Change in blood pressureBaseline, 12 months, 36 months

Change in arm strengthBaseline, 12 months, 36 months

Participant arm strength is measured as the total number of arm curls performed in 30 seconds. Participants are seated in a chair while holding a dumbbell or cuff weight (5lb for women and 8lb for men) wrapped around their right or left wrist (the left wrist is employed when the right wrist is impractical).

Change in leg strengthBaseline, 12 months, 36 months

Leg strength is assessed as the number of chair stands a person could complete in 30 seconds. For one chair stand, participants get up from their seats (with assistance if necessary) and then sit back down.

Change in mobilityBaseline, 12 months, 36 months

Mobility is measured as the time spent in an Eight-Foot-Up-and-Go test. Participants start seated in a chair, and are instructed to stand up, quickly circle a cone placed eight feet in front of the chair, and then sit back down in the chair. The stopwatch will start when the person fully stands up from the chair and stops when the person sits back down into the chair (recorded in seconds).
