Biceps and Triceps Brachii Muscle Strength of the dominant side
We will use the microFET® 3 (Hoggan Health Industries, West Jordan, UT) to The test will bmeasure the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the biceps and triceps brachii of the dominant side. MicroFET® 3 is an electronic handheld dynamometer that can detect 0-150 lb of force with high reliability and validity(61). The participants lie on the treatment table with their elbows forming a 90° angle to the horizontal such that the arm is perpendicular to the limb. The test will be done under standard positions.

Brief Summary
Background:
Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and decline of muscle function associated with aging. Frailty is defined as a clinically recognizable state of increased vulnerability resulting from aging-associated decline in reserve and function across multiple physiologic systems. Resistant, aerobic, and multi-component exercise could improve muscle strength and function in older adults. Some policies have been proposed and implemented to prevent and delay the frailty and disability among elders in long term care policy in Taiwan. However, due to shortage in healthcare provider, long-term exercise program is difficult to provide in long-term care facilities (LTCF) of countryside in Taiwan.
Method:
This will be a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing an exergame-based multicomponent training (Exergame-based REH) to standard of care in older users of LTCF in rural Kaohsiung city, Taiwan. Participants in the intervention group will receive Exergame-based REH for 12 weeks, while participants in the control group will receive standard care that routinely applied in the LTFC as usual. The Exergame-based REH contains progressive resistance training and functional movement of the four extremities but mainly upper limbs. The investigators will use the Ringfit Adventure to deliver the program. The Exergame-based REH will be performed twice per week, at least 48 hours apart from each training session, 50 minutes per time, for a total 12 weeks. Criteria of sarcopenia including (1) handgrip strength of dominant hand, (2) walking speed, and (3) appendicular skeletal muscle mass index of 4 extremities, and Study of osteoporotic fractures index, will be measured as primary outcomes. (1) Range of motions in dominant upper extremity, (2) maximal voluntary isometric contraction of biceps/triceps brachial muscles of dominant side, (3) box and block test, (4) Sonographic thickness of Biceps and Triceps Brachii muscles, (5) Kihon checklist-Taiwan version, (6) 36-Item Short Form Survey questionnaire, and (7) brain health test, will be measured as secondary outcomes before and after the programs.
Anticipated benefits:
The Exergame-based REH could enhance the motivation toward exercise of older adults. It could also increase muscle mass, strength, functional ability of dominant upper extremity, and health-related quality of life.
Detailed Description
Background:
Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and decline of muscle function associated with aging. The prevalence of sarcopenia among people older than 65 years old in Taiwan is over 20%. Sarcopenia is one of the most important causes of functional decline and loss of independence, even mortality in older adults. Frailty is theoretically defined as a clinically recognizable state of increased vulnerability resulting from aging-associated decline in reserve and function across multiple physiologic systems such that the ability to cope with everyday or acute stressors is comprised. Both sarcopenia and frailty are getting more and more concerns in Taiwan, which is now an aged-society. Resistant, aerobic, and multi-component exercise have been proved to improve muscle strength and function in older adults.
The principles of progressive resistance training and multi-component exercise programs include regular, mass-practiced, mild overwhelming engagement. These principles demand devoting time, workforce, and money to achieve. Staffing constraints and resources shortage have made it challenging to promote regular exercise programs in long-term care facilities. Exergames have been defined as any type of video game that requires the movement of the player's entire body, allowing real-time interaction. Exergames breaks down the barriers of repetitive and monotonous physical exercise since they contain attractive and multisensory game environments with an immersive environment in which the interaction takes place through global body movements. Moreover, the gamified approach and immersive scenarios motivate older people to acquire a greater commitment to the practice of physical and rehabilitative exercises. Therefore, by playing exergames, it reduces staff time for intervention, encourages patients to perform relatively high-energy movements, and increase participants' motivation.
Therefore, investigators in this study aim to evaluate the feasibility and clinical application of a novel exergame-based multicomponent training via Nintendo Switch® Ringfit Adventure (RFA), (which could deliver optimal exercise intensity for each player and perform fine-tuned up- and downregulation based on performance after each game), among older adults in rural care facilities in this current study.
Methods:
The investigators will conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing an exergame-based multicomponent training (Exergame-based REH) to standard of care in older users of LTCF in Ci-Shan and Mei-Nong district, Kaohsiung city, Taiwan. Participants in the intervention group will receive standard care with additional exergame-based REH for 12 weeks, while participants in the control group will receive standard care that routinely applied in the long term care facilities as usual. The Exergame-based REH contains progressive resistance training and functional movement of the four extremities but mainly upper limbs. The investigators will use the commercialized exergame Ringfit Adventure (RFA) to deliver the program. The Exergame-based REH will be performed twice per week, at least 48 hours apart from each training session, 50 minutes (10 minutes for warm-up and cool-down, 30 minutes for main program) per time, for a total 12 weeks. Criteria of sarcopenia including (1) handgrip strength of dominant hand (HGS), (2) walking speed, and (3) appendicular skeletal muscle mass index of 4 extremities (ASMMI), and study of osteoporotic fractures index, will be measured as primary outcomes. (1) Range of motions in dominant upper extremity (ROM), (2) maximal voluntary isometric contraction of biceps/triceps brachial muscles of dominant side (MVC of biceps/triceps), (3) box and block test (BBT), (4) Sonographic thickness of Biceps and Triceps Brachii muscles, (5) Kihon checklist-Taiwan version, (6) 36-Item Short Form Survey questionnaire (SF-36), and (7) brain health test (BHT) will be measured as secondary outcomes before, during, and after the programs.
Hypothesis
After three months of participating in the Exergame-based REH, the primary outcomes will show statistically significant increase.
After three months of participating in the Exergame-based REH, the secondary outcomes will show statistically significant increase.
Flow of the research:
Participants meet the inclusion criteria are first selected from the long term care facilities (including daycare centers and nursing homes) in Chi-Shan and Mei-Nong districts in rural Kaohsiung city.
The participants are classified into the intervention and control group randomly.
All the outcomes measured are done at the baseline (pre-test), 6 weeks after the intervention (mid-term evaluation), and 3 months after the intervention (post-test).

Standard care plus plus Exergame-based multicomponent training program
Intervention Description
The program contains PRT and functional movement of the four extremities but mainly upper limbs. We will use the commercialized exergame Ringfit Adventure (RFA) to deliver the program.
RFA is a fitness action role-playing game. The player advances the story while exercising as the movement of the player is linked to the main character on the screen. The movements of the player and battle actions are based on performing certain physical activities using the Ring-Con and Leg Strap. RFA itself could estimate the optimal exercise intensity for each player and performs fine-tuned up-and downregulation based on these physiological feedbacks. Therefore, it has become possible to provide an appropriate amount of exercise for all generations from children to the elderly.
The standard care is applied as usual in our LTCF. (descriped as the below in the control group)
