摘要
This study investigated the effects of 12 weeks of exercise training on functional fitness, assessed by Senior Fitness Tests, and health-related quality of life (HRQL), assessed by the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (MOS SF-36), in previously inactive senior center adults (n = 10 males and n = 28 females). Exercise training resulted in significant improvements for chair stand, arm curl, two-minute step, and sit-and-reach tests (all p < 0.001). Role physical (p < 0.001), bodily pain (p = 0.001), and vitality (p = 0.002) MOS SF-36 domains also improved. The results suggest that participation in exercise by senior center members can provide important additional benefits.
