Some older people who find standard exercise programmes too strenuous may be encouraged to while remaining seated - chair based exercises (CBE). We previously developed a consensus CBE programme (CCBE) following modified Delphi process. firstly needed test the feasibility and acceptability of this treatment approach explore how best evaluate it before undertaking definitive trial.

Introduction: Chair based exercise (CBE) is often recommended to engage older people with compromised health and mobility in an accessible form of exercise. A systematic review looking at the benefits CBE for identified a lack clarity regarding purpose [Anthony et al, Biomed Research International, 2013, ID: 309506]. In absence strong evidence base consensus development may provide basis decision making further guidance. Objective: To develop on principles Methods: The framework was...
