研究目的：本研究旨在调查步行计划对久坐老年人样本的有氧耐力和功能的影响。设计和方法：本研究招募了 126 名久坐的个体：对照组 63 名（平均年龄 = 74.1 +/- 6.0 岁），干预组 63 名（平均年龄 = 72.0 +/- 4.5 岁）。干预措施包括步行训练，包括平衡练习和下肢力量活动，每周两次，持续 4 个月。我们收集了有氧耐力、下肢力量和活动能力的基线和测试后测量结果。我们还在基线和测试后之间以 4、8 和 12 周的增量测量了有氧耐力。我们使用基线值、性别、年龄和体重指数分数作为协变量的协方差分析（p
Purpose of the Study: This study aims to investigate the effects of a walking program on aerobic endurance and function in a sample of sedentary elderly people. Design and Methods: For this study, 126 sedentary individuals were recruited: 63 individuals (mean age = 74.1 +/- 6.0 years) for the control group and 63 (mean age = 72.0 +/- 4.5 years) for the intervention group. The intervention consisted of walking training including balance exercises and lower limb strength activities twice a week for 4 months. We collected baseline and post-test measurements of aerobic endurance, lower limb strength, and mobility. We also measured aerobic endurance at increments of 4, 8, and 12 weeks between the baseline and the post-test. We used analyses of covariance with baseline value, gender, age, and body mass index scores as covariates (p
