An interventional study of Lower Limb Strength Training Program with Visual Feedback in Elderly (people Aged 65 or More), sponsored by Kaohsiung Medical University. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-03.

This study investigates the effects of lower limb leg press power training combined with visual feedback games on the physical performance, cognitive function, and heart rate variability (HRV) of older adults aged 65 and above. Participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with the experimental group engaging in leg press exercises combined with visual games twice a week for 12 weeks.
This study aims to investigate the effects of lower limb leg press power training combined with visual feedback games on the physical and cognitive health of the elderly. With the aging population increasing, the decline in muscle strength and cognitive function has become a significant challenge for older adults. To address these health issues, this study plans to recruit 40 participants aged 65 and above and randomly assign long-term care centers into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group will perform leg press training combined with visual feedback games twice a week for 12 weeks, while the control group will continue their usual daily activities.
Kaohsiung Medical University is the lead sponsor of 55 studies on the registry; 16 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
This group will not receive any specific muscle power intervention.
This lower limb explosive strength training system integrates visual feedback games and is equipped with angle and force sensors to simultaneously output the power of the left and right legs, as well as maximum explosive force and pushing force. Users can immediately understand the balance of leg strength and make adjustments, making it particularly suitable for the elderly to improve lower limb strength or for rehabilitation training. The gamification of the system enhances the fun of training, while data quantification allows progress tracking, making the training more precise and effective. Additionally, after the game ends, data can be exported to Excel for further analysis to identify issues in the pushing process and optimize the training plan.
