Background: Evidence demonstrates that physical exercise and psychological wellbeing are closely interlinked, particularly in older-aged women. However, research investigating how different forms of exercise influence mental health in older-aged women is underdeveloped.Methods/Design: A randomized controlled trial (N = 300) will assess the relative effectiveness of two different exercise programs (whole-body vibration and Multicomponent Training) for improving psychological wellbeing in older-aged women. The following outcomes will be assessed at three time points (that is, pre, post, and follow-up): psychological wellbeing, proactive attitude, quality of life, and happiness.Discussion: Results will have important implications for preventing psychological and physiological disease in older-aged women and for managing health-related costs for this population group.Trial registration: Number NCT01966562 on Clinical Gov database the 8 October 2013.

Abstract
Background: Evidence demonstrates that physical exercise and psychological wellbeing are closely interlinked, particularly in older-aged women. However, research investigating how different forms of exercise influence mental health in older-aged women is underdeveloped.Methods/Design: A randomized controlled trial (N = 300) will assess the relative effectiveness of two different exercise programs (whole-body vibration and Multicomponent Training) for improving psychological wellbeing in older-aged women. The following outcomes will be assessed at three time points (that is, pre, post, and follow-up): psychological wellbeing, proactive attitude, quality of life, and happiness.Discussion: Results will have important implications for preventing psychological and physiological disease in older-aged women and for managing health-related costs for this population group.Trial registration: Number NCT01966562 on Clinical Gov database the 8 October 2013.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
