Interventions

OTHERSAFE program (exercise intervention)

Participants will be asked to carry out the SAFE program with the help of a caregiver. Our healthcare professionals will visit them during the first week to explain to them and their caregivers how to perform the exercises correctly while using our website. All exercises will be performed using video capsules available on our website (https://safe-seniors.com/fr). The exercises are divided into 4 levels of difficulty: level 1 (light); level 2 (moderate); level 3 (moderate to vigorous); and level 4 (vigorous). Each level lasts 25 to 30 minutes and includes 5 exercise categories split into 5 videos: warm-up, strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance. The exercise intervention will include 3 sessions per week over 12 weeks.
