Effects of smartphone mirroring-based telepresence exercise on body composition and physical function in obese older women.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to develop a smartphone mirroring-based telepresence exercise program that can be performed at home while allowing for real-time feedback by instructors.

Methods

For this randomized controlled trial, 29 obese older women aged 66-87 years with ≥ 30% body fat were recruited at a senior citizen center. The intervention group was provided with the smartphone mirroring-based telepresence exercise program, in which participants exercised in their homes for 20-40 min three times a week for 12 weeks. Participants in the control group performed the same exercise program at the senior citizen center. Body composition and functional abilities were measured before and after the program.
