Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the efficacy of a 12-week Functional Power Training (FPT) program in pre-frail and frail community-dwelling older adults in Singapore for the management of physical frailty. The proposed study will provide information on the benefits of FPT on physical performances of older adults and help to shape future exercise recommendations to slow or reverse the onset and severity of physical frailty.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Function power training

12-week structured FPT program, conducted by a certified trainer from a community service provider. Sessions were held twice weekly at the respective community senior activity centers, each lasting 60 minutes in duration.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Functional Power Training

Intervention Type OTHER

The exercise intervention encompassed high-velocity movement, balance, and mobility exercises with the use of body weight and resistance bands as resistance. Participants were instructed to move rapidly during the concentric phase and slowly during the eccentric phase when performing the dynamic exercises.

Usual care

Participants either continued the usual exercise program provided by their respective community senior activity centers or their personal exercise routine.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Usual care

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants either continued the usual exercise program provided by their respective community senior activity centers or their personal exercise routine.
