Background/Objectives: There is limited empirical evidence on the feasibility of inclusive, community-based exercise programs for older adults with long-term mobility disabilities. This pilot study investigated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a community-based high-intensity functional training (HIFT) intervention. Methods: This single-group pre–post feasibility trial was delivered across four community-based HIFT facilities. Thirteen participants enrolled, and 10 (mean age 69.8 ± 6.7 years; 60% female) completed baseline assessments, two onboarding sessions, and thrice-weekly group-based workouts across 16 weeks. Physical function was assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function, Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES), and standardized tests of mobility, balance, and strength. Exploratory outcomes included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, work capacity, and quality of life (QOL). Results: Recruitment, retention, and attendance rates were 38%, 77%, and 58% (80% including make-up sessions), respectively. The intervention was safe and well-tolerated, with one fall-related adverse event. Self-reported functional outcomes demonstrated small to large effects, with large improvements in participant-identified functional activities (d = 1.03–1.54) and fall efficacy (d = 0.97), and a small effect for standardized physical function (d = 0.36) Endurance improved substantially (d = 1.01), while mobility, balance, and strength outcomes reflected maintenance or small to moderate gains (d = 0.08–0.55). BMI remained stable (d = 0.05), work capacity increased with moderate to large effects (d = 0.61–1.43), and QOL improved modestly (d = 0.20). Exit interviews reinforced high acceptability, highlighting individualized adaptations, supportive trainers, and the group-based context as motivating contextual factors. Conclusions: A community-based HIFT program is feasible and acceptable for older adults with mobility disabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
