Treatments tested in this trial
Task-oriented resistance exercise
BehavioralThe intervention program includes progressive resistance exercise and daily activity exercise, delivered over a six-week period with an ideal frequency of three sessions per week. Progressive resistance exercise will be provided through a combination of in-person and online sessions, while daily activity exercise will be delivered exclusively in person.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Short Physical Performance Battery
The score ranges from 0 to 12, with a score of 12 indicating the best physical functioning of the lower extremity.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.2
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
The score ranges from 0 to 30, with a score of 30 indicating the best global cognitive function.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.Secondary outcomes
1
Timed Up and Go Test-Single Task.
Time in seconds to complete the test, with a longer time indicating poor functional mobility.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.2
Timed Up and Go-Dual Task
Time in seconds to complete the task, a longer time indicating the interference of the dual task effect on mobility.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.3
List Sorting Working Memory Test
The raw score ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating better working memory. The raw score is converted to a Change Sensitive Score.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.4
Dimensional Change Card Sort Test
The raw score ranges from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better executive function. The raw score is converted to a Change Sensitive Score.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks.Other outcomes
1
Patient Health Questionnaire-9
The score ranges from 0 to 27, with a higher score indicating a higher degree of depression.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks.2
Pain, Enjoyment of Life and General Activity Scale
The score ranges from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating greater pain and interference with life by pain.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.3
Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care to measure everyday activity performance
The score ranges from 0 to 71, with a higher score indicating better mobility, daily activity function, or daily cognitive ability.
Time frame
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.4
Step counts
The number of step counts, a higher number indicates a higher level of physical activity.
