Exercise program for frail older adults over 70
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 70 or older
- Be considered “frail” based on 3 or more: unintentional weight loss, weakness, low energy, slow walking, and low physical activity
- Have an estimated life expectancy of 12 months or more
- Not be in active cancer treatment, and not have had recent exercise therapy (within the last 6 months)
- Be able to safely do exercise (no exercise-related medical contraindications per your clinician) and follow instructions
- Be able to understand the Dutch language; also not have significant memory/cognitive limits that prevent following instructions
- Not have Parkinson disease or multiple sclerosis; and no stroke in the last 6 months
