INTRODUCTION: The American College of Sports Medicine prescribes regular performance of at least moderate intensity physical activity for healthy aging. This study examines whether one session of 30 minutes of chair-assisted exercises for elderly meets this intensity criterion. METHOD: This cross-sectional study included 47 cognitive healthy volunteers (mean age 84 years). During the performance of 30 minutes chair-assisted exercises we determined oxygen uptake (Vo2), carbon dioxide production (Vco2), heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). These measures were expressed as a percentage of the estimated maximal Vo2 (Vo2max), the estimated maximal HR (HRmax), and estimated as metabolic equivalent units (METs). RESULTS: Participants performed chair-assisted exercises at 61.0% ± 14.7% of Vo2max, 67.6% ± 11.3% HRmax, 3.9 ± 0.9 METs, and 13.1 ± 2.1 RPE. CONCLUSIONS: The intensity of these chair-assisted exercises is at least moderate for older people which is necessary for healthy aging. |
