Abstract
We compared the effects of exercise compliance versus non-compliance in older healthy adults. Forty-four subjects were pre-tested on-10-fitness tests: skinfold-calipers and waist-circumference to assess body-composition, stair-climbing and 5-times-sit-to-stand for muscular-strength, 30 second sit-to-stand for endurance, timed up-and-go for agility and fall-risk, preferred and max walking-speed, standing-toe-touch for flexibility, and 6-min walk for cardiorespiratory fitness. Subjects were taught to perform resistance, flexibility, and aerobic-exercises three days-a-week for 12-weeks at a fitness facility. Twenty-two-subjects were non-compliant, performing 25% or less.Twenty-two subjects were compliant, performing over 75%. After training, subjects were post-tested. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was employed (p<0.05). Mean (±SD) age(y), mass(kg), and-height(cm) respectively, 70.8±5.4,72.5± 15.3, and 156.6±38.9. Mean percent-body-fat 26.6±5.4 pre-test, 26.3±4.5 post-test non-compliant; 23.4±4.6-pre-test, 21.9±3.8 post-test compliant. Mean waist-circumference(cm) 89.5±14.5 pre-test, 88.8±13.6 post-test non-compliant; 89.7±14.2 pre-test, 86.9±12.6 post-test compliant. Mean stair-climbing-time(sec) 12.0±4.9-pre-test, 11.5±2.7 post-test non-compliant; 11.4±3.7 pre-test, 10.0±3.5 post-test compliant. Mean standing-toe-touch(cm) 5.3±8.6 pre-test,-6.1±8.0 post-test non-compliant;11.4±9.0 pre-test, 2.5±9.8 post-test compliant. Mean timed up-and-go-time(sec) 6.2±0.9 pre-test, 6.3±1.1 post-test non-compliant; 6.6±1.8 for-pre-test, 5.7±1.4 for-post-test compliant. Mean 10m-walk (sec) 7.3±1.2 pre-test, 7.4±1.3 post-test non-compliant; 7.7±1.5 pre-test, 6.8±1.1 post-test compliant. Mean 10m-walk-max-speed(sec) 5.0±0.7 pre-test and 5.0±0.6 post-test non-compliant, and 5.0±1.2 pre-test and 4.6±1.1-post-test compliant. Mean 5-times-sit-to-stand(sec) 7.7±2.3 pre-test, 6.9±1.9 post-test non-compliant; 8.9±2.6 pre-test, 6.8±2.6-post-test compliant. Mean 30-sec-sit-to-stand 20.2±5.0 pre-test, 21.2±5.1 post-test non-compliant; 19.0±5.3 pre-test and 23.9±7.0 post-test compliant. Mean 6-min-walk(m) 581.1±78.8 pre-test, 562.3±87.4-post-test non-compliant; -567.1±111.0 pre-test, 610.7±95.4 post-test compliant. Compliant subjects significantly increased body-composition, muscular strength, power and endurance, agility, fall-risk, walking-speed, flexibility, and cardiorespiratory-fitness, while non-compliant did not.
