      Disease in Adults With Visual or Auditory Impairments: A Feasibility Study.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of a public health center-based aerobic 
      and resistance training program for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease 
      in people with visual, auditory, or physical/brain impairments. METHODS: The 
      study included 25 adults aged >40 years who lived in Cheorwon-gun in South Korea, 
      had a disability registered for visual, auditory, or physical/brain impairments 
      under the Disability Welfare Act, and had either known cardiovascular disease or 
      two or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The program comprised four 
      education sessions and 12 weeks of customized aerobic and strengthening exercises 
      performed twice a week at moderate intensity, with each exercise session lasting 
      for 1 hour. The body mass index (BMI), percent body fat, 6-minute walk distance 
      (6MWD), and 30-second sit-to-stand test results were measured at baseline and on 
      program completion. RESULTS: Seventeen subjects (68%) completed the program. 
      There were significant decreases in BMI and percent body fat (both p<0.05), with 
      a significant increase in 30-second sit-to-stand strength (p<0.05) but no changes 
      in the 6MWD. In subjects with visual or auditory impairments, BMI and percent 
      body fat were significantly decreased after the program; however, there was no 
      significant change in the results of the 30-second sit-to-stand strength test or 
      the 6MWD. CONCLUSION: In people with disabilities, a 3-month community-based 
      exercise program can decrease body mass index and percent body fat and increase 
      sit-to-stand strength. The 30-second sit-to-stand test may be a useful measure of 
      the strength and endurance of the lower extremities in people with disabilities.
