Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bench stepping exercise at a nursing home in an area with cold and snowy winters. Subjects were assigned to two groups (the training group and the control group). The training group participated in bench stepping exercise (ten minutes per session, three sessions per day, and five days per week) at an intensity of RPE 12 or 13. The result of our exercise intervention showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in CS-30 test scores compared with the control group. METs at exercise testing were improved significantly (P<0.01) in the exercise group. The adherence rate of this exercise prescription was about 85% for ten months, that is, subjects maintained the same amount of exercise in winter compared with summer. These findings suggest that bench stepping exercise for elderly in nursing homes, especially in a snowy area, is effective and keeps a high adherence rate. Verf.-Referat
