Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to examine multidimensional changes in and associations among health-related indicators, including bone density, physical function, muscle strength, gait function, cognitive function, posture, quality of life, lifestyle, psychological and behavioral indicators, and blood flow or circulatory function, through exercise and health support programs including the BONE program and related assessments for adult men. The study also aims to exploratorily clarify the effectiveness, safety, feasibility, and applicability of the programs or assessment methods. The target population includes a broad range of adult men, from healthy young adults to middle-aged and older adults. The delivery format is not limited to on-demand delivery and may include face-to-face, remote, home-based, facility-based, or combined formats.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary outcomes are changes in physical function, bone density, posture, blood flow or circulatory function, quality of life, and comprehensive health-related indicators before and after the intervention or between assessment time points. Specifically, these outcomes may include muscle strength, toe-grip strength, gait function, balance, flexibility, body composition, bone density indices assessed by quantitative ultrasound, posture assessment, indicators related to blood flow or circulatory function, quality of life, and subjective health status.

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes include immune function, cognitive function, physical activity, exercise adherence, lifestyle, sleep, fatigue, dietary habits, psychological indicators, behavioral indicators, program satisfaction, feasibility, continuation, safety, free-text responses, and other health-related indicators deemed necessary in light of the study objectives.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants in the intervention group will participate in exercise and health support programs, including the BONE program, after providing informed consent and according to the study protocol. The programs may include exercise and health support components aimed at improving trunk function, lower-limb function, posture, flexibility, muscle strength, balance, and physical activity. The delivery format is not limited to on-demand delivery and may include face-to-face, remote, home-based, facility-based, or combined formats. The frequency, duration, session length, and delivery method will be determined according to the study protocol. Assessments of physical function, bone density, cognitive function, posture, blood flow or circulatory function, quality of life, lifestyle, and subjective health status may be conducted before and after the intervention or between assessment time points.

Interventions/Control_2

Participants in the control group will continue their usual lifestyle or usual activities during the study period. Similar to the intervention group, assessments of physical function, bone density, cognitive function, posture, blood flow or circulatory function, quality of life, lifestyle, and subjective health status may be conducted before and after the observation period or between assessment time points according to the study protocol.
