Summary

Frailty is common among older adults living in nursing homes and increases the risk of falls, disability, and loss of independence. However, there is limited evidence on practical and feasible exercise programs adapted to this population.

This study evaluated the effects of a multicomponent exercise program combining strength and balance training in residents aged 65 years and older. Participants were assigned to either an intervention group, which performed supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 8 weeks, or a control group, which continued their usual activities.

The main outcome was frailty, measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery. Other outcomes included balance, functional independence, sarcopenia, fear of falling, and number of falls.

This study was retrospectively registered.

  • Sarcopenia in Elderly
  • Frailty at Older Adults
  • Functional Decline
  • Fall Risk

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Multicomponent Exercise Program (BASE)

A supervised multicomponent exercise program including strength and balance training, performed twice weekly for 8 weeks. Each session lasted 30-40 minutes and included warm-up, strength exercises, and progressively adapted balance tasks based on individual capacity.

OTHER

Usual Care

Participants continued their usual care and routine physical activities provided by the nursing homes without additional structured intervention.
