HIIT exercise program to improve frailty in older veterans
This trial tests a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program to help older veterans feel stronger and more resilient and to reduce frailty. It may help people who are not yet very frail (or are just starting to become frail) but can safely exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 65 or older
- Be cleared by a clinician to exercise
- Be non-frail or only mildly frail (frailty score less than 3)
- Be able to use a recumbent (back-supported) exercise bike
- Think clearly enough for testing (VA-SLUMS score above 20)

This trial tests a home-based exercise program using video games (exergaming) to help older adults become less frail. A family member or friend supports you, and the program is designed to be safe and fun.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve health and function in frail adults age 70 and older. It may help you build strength, energy, and mobility if you meet frailty and safety requirements.
This trial tests whether a Spanish health-clinic–guided exercise program can improve frailty in people who are starting to become frail (“pre-frail”). It may help you build strength and walking ability through supervised physical activity.
This study tests a home-based exercise program using technology (like a smartphone app) to help frail patients get stronger and more independent. The goal is to see if exercising at home can improve your physical function and quality of life.
This trial tests a special exercise program designed for older adults who are frail or have muscle loss. The goal is to help improve strength and daily function, and participating may help you stay independent longer.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program designed to improve strength, balance, and thinking skills in people aged 90 and older. It might help you stay active and independent.
