Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This randomized-control trial is to validate the Gym Tonic programme and data as well measuring its effectiveness in improving physical functions and reversing frailty.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The intervention group will go through 12 weeks of Gym Tonic progressive training programme. While the control group acts as a control. After the first 12 weeks, the intervention group will be going through another 12 weeks of Gym Tonic maintenance programme, while the control group will be going through the Gym Tonic progressive training programme.
Measurements of physical functions, isometric strength and frailty will be conducted pre trial, post 12 weeks and post 24 weeks.
