The overall goal of the Strong-for-Life: Exercise and Self-Conceptions Training to Promote Activity and Reduce Disability is to design, implement, and experimentally evaluate an in-home, muscle strength and balance program (Strong for Life) designed for older persons with some degree of physical disability. The specific aims of this project include:
- To Produce an exercise training intervention on videotape designed for use by disabled, community dwelling older persons;
- To enhance in-home, exercise training results by coupling technical exercise training with cognitive behavioral interventions to change an older person's attitudes and self-conceptions about exercise and its potential benefits;
- To implement a randomized trial of the intervention's efficacy in a sample of 140 disabled, older persons;
- To examine the intervention's impact on muscle strength, memory, functional disability, and quality of life; and
- To disseminate the program to the broader community of potential users.
