Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Semi-structured questionnaire for evaluating feasibility and acceptability of
aLiFE.
Secondary outcome
Motivation assessment, Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument.
Background summary
There is an urgent need for innovative solutions to prevent functional decline
and inactivity at older age. Testing of an adapted intervention and potential
outcome measures is recommended prior to starting a randomized trial.
Study objective
To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted
Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise Program (aLiFE) intervention in a
population of young old adults (60-70 years) at three sites: Stuttgart,
Amsterdam, and Trondheim.
Study design
4-week clinical pilot study.
Intervention
The aLiFE intervention is a lifestyle-integrated exercise program adapted to
young older adults at the age of 60-70 years.
Study burden and risks
The risk during LiFE training is estimated to be small, particularly given the
young old population of the aLiFE pilot study. Participants of our aLiFE pilot
study may benefit from the intervention in terms of improving their functional
performance and increasing their physical activity, although this is not the
primary aim of this feasibility study.

Inclusion criteria
We will include community dwelling adults between 60 and 70 years of age. Only participants with ability to walk 500 metres without walking aids will be included.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria include cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MOCA *24 points) and self-reported cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and mental disease where exercise is contraindicated. The target population of aLiFE is not the most fit of the young older adults. Excluded are therefore those who are attending organised exercise classes more than twice a week and/or those who are exercising more than 4 hours on their own each week.
