PHYSICAL FUNCTION PERFORMANCE AND EXERCISING IN AGING

这项研究的长期目标是改善身体状况 通过发展和测试功能受损的老年人的功能状况 集成的功能评估系统和有针对性的模块化演习。 本研究分为两个部分：第一部分 开发并验证一种新的身体机能表现指标， 称为“PEP”。第二项研究将使用PFP来评估 一组老年人的身体功能状况，并开出处方 模块化锻炼计划，以纠正私营部门合作伙伴关系确定的缺陷。 具体目标：研究1 1.为了开发一种可靠的功能状态观察指标， 称为PFP(物理功能性能)，这是基于 以日常活动的运动学为基础。虽然亲民党会 有一个总分，这项建议的目标是针对分量表 (1)有氧健身，2)柔韧性，3)力量，4)协调 确定损害的来源，以便更好地了解 全局限制可以由一个或多个特定基础产生 减损。 2.通过将PFP的总分与总分进行相关来评估PFP的有效性 并按现行标准进行分量表评分，如：1)问卷 功能状态测量：2)法官对功能状态的评分； 3)有氧适能、柔韧性、 力量、协调；以及4)生活状态(独立社区 居民、独立聚集照料设施的居民和受抚养人 居民)。 具体目标：研究2 3表明使用PFP进行功能评估的结果可以 用于设计针对特定基本障碍的模块练习 由亲民党确认。 对重复测量的方差分析进行评估，以确定 PFP对身体机能随时间的变化的敏感性以及 验证私营部门合作伙伴关系在评估随时间变化方面的有用性。

The long-term objective of this research is to improve the physical functional status of impaired older adults, by developing and testing an integrated system of functional assessment ad targeted modular exercise. The proposed research is divided into two parts: The first part will develop ad validate a new physical functional performance measure, referred to as "PEP". The second study will use the PFP to assess physical function status in a group of older adults, and prescribe modular exercise programs to correct deficits identified by the PFP. Specific Aims: Study 1 1. To develop a reliable observational measure of functional status, referred to as "PFP" (Physical Functional Performance), that is based upon the kinesiology of normal daily activities. Though the PFP will have an overall score, the goal of this proposal is for the subscales (1) aerobic fitness, 2) flexibility, 3)strength, and 4) coordination to identify the source of the impairment in order to better understand how global limitation may be produced by one or more specific basis impairments. 2. To assess the validity of the PFP by correlating its overall score and subscale scores with present standards, such as: 1) questionnaire measures of functional status; 2) judges' ratings of functional status; 3) isolated physiologic measurements of aerobic fitness, flexibility, strength, and coordination; and 4) living status (independent community dweller, independent congregate care facility residents and dependent residents). Specific Aims: Study 2 3 To show that the results of functional assessment using the PFP can be used to design modular exercise which target specific basic impairments identified by the PFP. 4 Repeated measures analysis of variance will be assessed to determine the sensitivity of the PFP to changes in physical function over time and to validate the usefulness of the PFP in assessing change over time.
