4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: YogaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Yoga involves a series of movements and poses that are performed in a specific sequence that are adapted to your ability, with activity progressing to 150 minutes per week. This will require the participant to attend one supervised session each week for a period of 12 months with the remaining sessions being performed on their own without supervision.
Group II: Resistance TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Resistance exercise that involves participating in activities similar to lifting weights that cause the participant to work specific muscles of your body, with activity progressing to 150 minutes per week. This can involve using weight training machines, elastic tubes that create resistance, or weights such a dumbbells. This will require the participant to attend one supervised session each week for a period of 12 months with the remaining sessions being performed on their own without supervision.
Group III: Health EducationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This involves the participant receiving information regarding aspects of health that are important for older adults, and also physical activity in the form of light stretching activities and movements. This will require the participant to attend one supervised session each week for a period of 12 months with the remaining sessions being performed on their own without supervision.
Group IV: Aerobic ActivityExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Moderate-intensity exercise aerobic exercise that involves participating in activities similar to brisk walking that increase heart rate and breathing rate, with activity progressing to 150 minutes per week. Activities other than brisk walking, such as dance, aerobics, swimming, cycling or other activities that increase heart rate and breathing rate to a moderate intensity that can be sustained for at least 10 minutes will also be encouraged. This will require the participant to attend one supervised session each week for a period of 12 months with the remaining sessions being performed on their own without supervision.
