Summary

This study aims to examine the effects of a multi-component intervention incorporating Swiss ball exercises and nutritional counseling on reducing frailty in a sample of pre-frail older adults in primary care. It also aims to assess its effects on physical performance, functional status, and cognitive and well-being measures.

Participants aged between 65 and 75 years will be randomly assigned to the intervention group and "usual care" group .

Over a 3-month period, the multi-component intervention will consist of Swiss ball exercises and nutritional counseling, whereas the "usual care" group will get verbal general health counseling on healthy eating and physical activity recommendations.

Outcome Assessors who are blinded to treatment allocation will evaluate primary and secondary outcomes at the end of the intervention (3 months), and after 6 months follow-up period.
