Supervised Online Resistance Training vs Unsupervised Self-administered Resistance Training for Elders

The primary goal of this project is to investigate whether online supervised team-based exercise training is superior for increasing functional strength in elders compared to prescribed self-administered exercise training. Secondarily, the project aims to investigate whether adherence to online supervised team-based exercise training is greater compared to prescribed self-administered training, and if online supervised team-based exercise training can increase quality of life. Finally, this project will generate more knowledge on elderly individuals' approaches and responses to physical exercise through online services. The participants will undergo a 12-week intervention where they will be performing prescribed physical exercise for 5 hours bi-weekly and complete a 3-day dietary registration three times during the study. Participants will be randomized (2:1 ratio) to two groups and will: i) undergo supervised training in groups on an online live meeting platform by trained personnel, or ii) receive prescribed exercises through an online exercise platform but their training will be self-administered and unsupervised.
