Effectiveness of home-based video exercise programmes on physical fitness in older adults – systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Home-based video exercise programmes might be a suitable alternative to traditional physi¬cal activity in older adults to preserve muscle health.

description Background: Home-based video exercise programmes might be a suitable alternative to traditional physi¬cal activity in older adults to preserve muscle health. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the effects of home-based video exercise programmes on physical fitness in older adults. Methods: A systematic review and robust variance estimation meta-analysis with meta-regression were carried out according to the recommendations and criteria outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Results: Thirteen studies involving 1,056 participants were included. Meta-analysis showed statistically significant positive changes in balance (p = 0.023), upper extremity strength (p = 0.049, and strength overall (p = 0.042), there was also statistically significant positive effect based on all the 28 outcomes in eight studies, including 696 participants (p = 0.008). Conclusion: The present systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that home-based video exercise programmes positively affect essential components of physical fitness, such as balance and strength, to prevent falls in older adults. Promoting home-based video exercise in clinical practice and ideally sup¬porting it through supervision is vital to effectively combat the age-related physical decline, especially for those in home isolation.
