Brief Summary

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

The present study refers to a three-arm randomized controlled trial that investigated the effects of two types of RT on frailty status, physical performance, cognitive function, and blood pressure of prefrail and frail older adults.

Study Groups

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

High-Speed Resistance Training

Participants performed exercises 8 times (sets) with 3-5 repetitions at 70%-75% of the maximal strength.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Exercise interventions were carried out over a total of 16 weeks in the mornings (08:00 am-12:00 am) under the supervision of at least two fitness instructors. Participants performed four exercises for lower limbs (Figure 9): 1st) squat on the chair, 2nd) seated unilateral hip flexion, 3rd) seated unilateral knee extension, and 4th) bilateral calf raise with 12-15 submaximal repetitions avoiding fatigue (i.e., inability to complete a repetition in a full range of motion). The number of sets was increased linearly during the first month, such that one set was performed in the 1st week, two sets in the 2nd week, 3 sets in the 3rd week, and 4 sets in the 4th week. Subsequently, participants performed the main exercise period. After a brief warm-up, participants performed the same exercises that were performed during the familiarization period using an adjustable weight vest and ankle weights (DOMYOS®, Shangai, China).

Low-Speed Resistance Training

Participants performed exercises 4 times (sets) with 8-10 repetitions at 70%-75% of the maximal strength.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
