Brief Summary

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

The objective of this clinical trial is to understand the efficacy of a targeted exercise program (Otago exercise program+Strength training) in elderly people with prefrailty and sarcopenia. The trial aims to answer the following main questions:

* Is OEP+ST effective in elderly people with prefrailty and sarcopenia?
* In what areas did participants improve during the OEP+ST intervention?

Researchers will randomly assign participants to an experimental group (OEP+ST) and a control group (daily care only) for comparison to see the effects of this intervention.

Participants in the EG group will:

* Exercise 3 times a week for 1 hour each time (including 10 minutes of warm-up, 40 minutes of exercise and 10 minutes of stretching) At the same time, it is necessary to walk for 30-40 minutes three times a week. It lasts for three months.
* Test and record their condition (including frailty, body composition, physical function, quality of life) before and after the experiment.

Study Groups

Otago-based Multicomponent Exercise

The intervention is based on the Otago Exercise program, which includes cardiopulmonary exercises, resistance exercises, and balance training, with an additional eight resistance exercises.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Cardiorespiratory exercises include walking at a normal pace for 30 minutes three times a week, or three 10-minute sessions. The resistance exercises involve five leg muscle strengthening exercises, including knee extensors, knee flexors, hip adductors, ankle plantar flexors, and ankle dorsolflexors, performed 8-10 times, 1-2 sets, 3 times a week, with 1 day intervals in between. Balance training includes 12 exercises such as kneeling, walking backwards, walking and turning, walking sideways, tandem standing (heel-toe standing), tandem walking (heel-toe walking), standing on one leg, walking on the heel, and walking on the tip of the foot. Only 1 set of 1 exercise, 3 times a week, 1 day interval in between. Add 4 upper body strength exercises and 4 lower body strength exercises to the OEP, using water bottles and elastic bands as AIDS. Each movement is completed 8-12 times, 1-3 sets, 3 times a week, 1 day apart.

Control group

Give only the physical activity necessary for daily living.
