Summary

To investigate the efficacy of a 12-week Functional Power Training (FPT) program in pre-frail and frail community-dwelling older adults in Singapore for the management of physical frailty. The proposed study will provide information on the benefits of FPT on physical performances of older adults and help to shape future exercise recommendations to slow or reverse the onset and severity of physical frailty.
