Adherence and potential factors of adherence to a resistance, coordination and endurance training in older retirement home residents over 6 months.

Introduction: High exercise adherence is a key factor for effective exercise programmes. However, little is known about predictors of exercise adherence to a multimodal machine-based training in older retirement home residents.

Aims: To assess exercise adherence and potential predictors of adherence.

Bestform-F - Best Function of Range of Motion: A Feasibility Study of a Multimodal Exercise Training Program for Older Adults in Retirement Homes.

Purpose: Mobility is a crucial factor for independence and quality of life in old age. Nevertheless, many old people in retirement homes do not meet the physical activity recommendations. The aim of the Bestform-F - Best Function of Range of Motion feasibility study (bestform-F) was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a machine-based multimodal exercise training program in older residents in retirement homes.
