Despite these risks, women, particularly older women, are less active than men. In England, less than one-third of women engage in sufficient aerobic activity, and less than 5% do enough muscle strength training. Common reasons for not exercising include lack of time and enjoyment.\n\nHigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an efficient and effective way to exercise that many women find more enjoyable than longer workouts. HIIT has been shown to be effective in older women, helping them improve their fitness with less time commitment. Because HIIT is time-efficient, it can be combined with muscle strength training without significantly increasing the duration of the exercise session, which may lead to even better fitness results.\n\nThis study will assess how practical it is for older women to do HIIT and strength exercise combined training. It will also investigate whether this combined approach can improve overall fitness, muscle strength, aerobic fitness, and quality of life more than HIIT alone.",[28],[61,62,63,64],"Women","HIIT","Resistance exercise","Combined exercise","2025-02-07",{"date":67,"type":37},"2025-02-13",{"date":69,"type":37},"2025-02-01",{"date":41,"type":22},{"name":72,"class":44},"University of Nottingham",{"id":74,"slug":75,"hasResults":11,"nctId":76,"briefTitle":77,"officialTitle":78,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":79,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":18,"minAge":54,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":80,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":82,"briefSummary":83,"conditions":84,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":33,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":86,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":87,"startDateStruct":89,"completionDateStruct":91,"leadSponsor":93,"locationsCount":45},"100555989","virtual-reality-music-in-geriatric-inpatients-100555989","NCT06519253","Virtual Reality Music in Geriatric Inpatients","Virtual Reality Based Music Intervention in an Acute Geriatric Setting","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age of 60 years or older;\n* Medical stability to participate in the trial as determined by treating physician (defined as stable vital signs, absence of new medical events and deteriorating signs),\n* Admitted to the GAU (5 north) at St. Mary's hospital.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Medical instability which limits ability to participate in the study (unstable vital signs, delirium, new medical events, deteriorating signs),\n* Unablility to communicate in English or French,\n* Behavioural issues\u002Fdelirium that limit participation in the study,\n* Those who have very severe dementia (using the Reisberg stage 7 which is defined by very limited communication ability, and dependence for all self-care\n* Those without sufficient auditory acuity to undergo assessment and participate in the intervention, which affects their ability to communicate their consent for this study and to listen to music\n* Ophthalmological conditions which affects their ability to participate in the immersive VR (recent eye surgery, severe macular degeneration, severe glaucoma, epilepsy and seizures, etc.).",{"count":81,"type":22},30,[25],"Older adults, especially those in acute care require accessible non-pharmacological interventions, such as music to improve their mental health.
