About this trial
This is an interventional health services research trial for Cardiovascular Health focused on measuring Physical activity intervention, Older adults
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: aged 60 and over enrolled member at the participating senior center for at least three years fluent in Korean Exclusion Criteria: younger than 60 years old less than three years enrollment at the senior center cannot read and speak Korean
Sites / Locations
- Mokdong Senior Welfare Center
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Hybrid PA intervention
Arm Description
The PA intervention implemented 1-hour sessions for 12 weeks focusing on improving (1) body muscle, (2) body flexibility, (3) muscle endurance, and (4) body balance. The 12-week hybrid PA intervention was concurrently deployed in-person at a senior center and at-home through a web-based modality.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Cardiovascular health
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides
Secondary Outcome Measures
Physical function
muscular function and cardiopulmonary endurance

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study tested preliminary efficacy of a hybrid (web-based and center-based) PA intervention combining use of a smartwatch and mobile application. The 12-week hybrid PA intervention included 120 older Korean adults and was concurrently implemented in-person at the local senior center and at-home through a web-based modality. Overall, increases were evident in systolic/diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and high-density-lipoprotein at posttest, with decreases seen for triglyceride levels. Participants showed improvements in muscular function and cardiopulmonary endurance.

Behavioral
Intervention Name(s)
Golden Circle
Intervention Description
The original Golden Circle project was deployed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to implement remote social services in South Korea. Golden Circle had the aim of building a case management model using a healthcare-oriented automation system based on wearable devices (smartwatches and mobile applications). Through innovative system expansions, the goals were to promote healthful CVH and physical function and cultivate self-care management skills in older Korean adults.
