Conclusion Frequency of 1–6 sessions per week , training volume of 1–3 sets of 6–15 repetitions and intensity of 30–70%1-RM promoted significant enhancements on muscle strength , muscle power , and functional outcomes .
Therefore , in agreement with previous studies , we suggest that supervised and controlled RT represents an effective intervention in frailty treatment
Aim Exercise is one of the most important components in frailty prevention and treatment .
Therefore , we systematic ally review ed the effect of resistance training ( RT ) alone or combined with multimodal exercise intervention on muscle hypertrophy , maximal strength , power output , functional performance , and falls incidence in physically frail elderly .
The effect of functional circuit training on physical frailty in frail older adults: a randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a 12-wk functional circuit-training program ( FCT ) could alter markers of physical frailty in a group of frail community-dwelling adults . Fifty-one individuals ( 31 women , 20 men ) , mean age ( ± SD ) 84 ( ± 2.9 ) yr , met frailty criteria and were r and omly assigned into groups ( FCT = 26 , control group [ CG ] = 25 ) . FCT underwent a 12-wk exercise program . CG met once a week for health education meetings . Measures of physical frailty , function , strength , balance , and gait speed were assessed at Weeks 0 , 12 , and 36 . Physical-frailty measures in FCT showed significant ( p < .05 ) improvements relative to those in CG ( Barthel Index at Weeks 0 and 36 : 73.41 ( ± 2.35 ) and 77.0 ( ± 2.38 ) for the FCT and 70.79 ( ± 2.53 ) and 66.73 ( ± 2.73 ) for the CG . These data indicate that an FCT program  is effective in improving measures of function and reducing physical frailty among frail older adults
