摘要：

PURPOSE: To examine the feasibility and acceptability of progressive whole-body resistance training with social support reinforcement for older adults living alone. METHOD: This mixed methods single-group pilot study examined an intervention provided over 3 nonconsecutive days per week for 12 weeks. We evaluated quantitative data on recruitment, uptake, retention, and adherence, and measured pretest and posttest outcome scores on body composition, physical function, and psycho- social health. We conducted a focus group interview to collect qualitative data on participants'perspectives. RESULTS: Seven participants (five women and two men) completed the program (attendance rate = 88.9%). Physical function and psychosocial health improved, but soft lean and skeletal muscle mass decreased. Five themes emerged from the qualitative data. CONCLUSION: Results support the feasibility and benefits of this intervention program for older adults living alone despite challenges with recruitment and uptake.
