Summary

This pilot study aims to investigate whether high intensity interval training can result in rapid improvements in physical fitness amongst the frail elderly (over 70 years old). Participants will undergo a wide range of physical fitness measures followed by a four week exercise protocol. Determination of improvement will be by repeated testing of the physical measures taken for baseline. The primary outcome measure will be anaerobic threshold. There will also be a subgroup of participants who will undergo muscle biopsy and D2O ingestion to allow an insight into the mechanistic basis behind exercise training response in this age group.
