Effects of a 9-month resistance training intervention on quality of life, sense of coherence, and depressive symptoms in older adults: randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: (1) To determine the effects of a 9-month resistance training intervention on quality of life, sense of coherence, and depressive symptoms in older adults, and (2) to compare effects between different training frequencies.Men and women aged 65-75 (N?=?106) were randomized to four groups according to training frequency: training groups RT1 (n?=?26), RT2 (n?=?27), and RT3 (n?=?28) and non-training control group (n?=?25). All training groups attended supervised resistance training twice a week for 3 months. For the following 6 months, they continued training with different frequencies (1, 2 or 3 times per week). Psychological functioning was measured by quality of life (WHOQOL-Bref), sense of coherence (Antonovsky's SOC-13), and depressive symptoms (Beck's Depression Inventory II). Measurements were conducted at baseline and 3 and 9 months after baseline. The effects of the intervention were analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEE).After 3 months, there was an intervention effect on environmental quality of life (group?×?time p?=?.048). Between 3 and 9 months, environmental quality of life decreased among RT1 compared to RT2 and RT3 (group?×?time p?=?.025). Between baseline and 9 months, environmental quality of life increased in RT2 compared to all other groups (group?×?time p?=?.011). Sense of coherence increased in RT2 compared to the control group and RT3 (group?×?time p?=?.032).Resistance training is beneficial for environmental quality of life and sense of coherence. Attending resistance training twice a week seems to be the most advantageous for these aspects of psychological functioning.

Project description:Effective care models for treating older African Americans with depressive symptoms are needed.To determine whether a home-based intervention alleviates depressive symptoms and improves quality of life in older African Americans.Parallel, randomized trial stratified by recruitment site. Interviewers assessing outcomes were blinded to treatment assignment. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00511680).A senior center and participants' homes from 2008 to 2010.African Americans aged 55 years or older with depressive symptoms.A multicomponent, home-based intervention delivered by social workers or a wait-list control group that received the intervention at 4 months.Self-reported depression severity at 4 months (primary outcome) and depression knowledge, quality of life, behavioral activation, anxiety, function, and remission at 4 and 8 months.Of 208 participants (106 and 102 in the intervention and wait-list groups, respectively), 182 (89 and 93, respectively) completed 4 months and 160 (79 and 81, respectively) completed 8 months. At 4 months, participants in the intervention group showed reduced depression severity (difference in mean change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score from baseline, -2.9 [95% CI, -4.6 to -1.2]; difference in mean change in Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score from baseline, -3.7 [CI, -5.4 to -2.1]); improved depression knowledge, quality of life, behavioral activation, and anxiety (P < 0.001); and improved function (P = 0.014) compared with wait-list participants. More intervention than wait-list participants entered remission at 4 months (43.8% vs. 26.9%). After treatment, control participants showed benefits similar in magnitude to those of participants in the initial intervention group. Those in the initial intervention group maintained benefits at 8 months.The study had a small sample, short duration, and differential withdrawal rate.A home-based intervention delivered by social workers could reduce depressive symptoms and enhance quality of life in most older African Americans.National Institute of Mental Health.
