Methods: We enrolled 64 participants with AD for an RP intervention
lasting 12 months. The research used a quasiexperimental
approach. Assessed variables included cognitive ability
(Mini-Mental State Examination), fitness (Chair Stand Test), level
of independence (Barthel Index), and quality of life (the 12-item Short
Form Health Survey). Statistical analyses used the Student’s
t test, MannYWhitney U test, and the chi-squared test. The
statistical significance level was set at 5%.
