Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The hypothesis of this study is to investigate the impact of targeted physical function exercises on managing frailty status and concerns about falling among pre-frail older adults. By implementing individualized intervention programs tailored to improve strength, balance, and mobility, the investigators aim to enhance physical function and reduce the risk of frailty-related adverse health outcomes. The investigators seek to empower pre-frail older adults to proactively manage their health, maintain independence, and improve their quality of life as they age.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Physical Function Group
Physical function interventions including strength, balance, and mobility exercises
Physical Function Exercises
Physical function interventions included strength, balance, and mobility exercises. More specifically, the exercises include progressively increasing intensity strengthening exercises with a resistance band for the following muscle groups: hip abductor and extensor muscles, knee flexor and extensor muscles, and shoulder abductor and external rotator muscles. Other exercises consist of standing calf raises, squats, bridges, and push-ups. Additionally, functional exercises include heel-to-toe standing or walking, single-leg standing, stepping over obstacles, bending down, and lifting an object with feet together.
