Buddy-style intervention

Buddy-style intervention has no effect on daily muscle strength exercise duration in humans (8.2 [9.7] versus 6.5 [9.3] min/day; P = 0.593; f = 0.08).

“There was no significant difference in the duration of muscle strength exercises (min/day) between the two groups at 24 weeks”

Human trialCommunity-dwelling adults with disabilities; both groups received a 12-week home-based exercise program5–10 minutes once a week24 weeksn = 47

Buddy-style intervention increases daily outdoor walking duration in humans (73.5 [66.1] versus 42.7 [45.5] min/day; P = 0.030; f = 0.38).

“outdoor walking time (min/day) was significantly longer in the intervention group (n = 24) than in the control group (n = 23) at 24 weeks”
