HIIT exercise program to improve frailty in older veterans
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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 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 if a home-based exercise program, supported by a smartphone or tablet, can help frail older adults get stronger and more independent. It may be a good fit if you are frail but can still walk and use a smart device.
This study tests whether a specially designed exercise program can help older adults who are frail or losing muscle strength feel stronger and more independent. The program is run by physical therapists at your usual health center.
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.
This study tests a gentle exercise program called VIVIFRAIL® to help older adults stay strong and active. You'll do simple movements in a group setting designed to improve balance and strength.
