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 Effectiveness of Exercise Interventions for the Management of Frailty: A Systematic Review
This systematic review examines the effectiveness of current exercise interventions for the management of frailty . Eight electronic data bases were search ed for r and omized controlled trials that identified their participants as “ frail ” either in the title , abstract , and /or text and included exercise as an independent component of the intervention . Three of the 47 included studies utilized a vali date d definition of frailty to categorize participants . Emerging evidence suggests that exercise  has a positive impact on some physical determinants and on all functional ability outcomes reported in this systematic review . Exercise programs that optimize the health of frail older adults seem to be different from those recommended for healthy older adults . There was a paucity of evidence to characterize the most beneficial exercise program for this population . However , multicomponent training interventions , of long duration ( ≥5 months ) , performed three times per week , for 30–45 minutes per session , generally had superior outcomes than other exercise programs . In conclusion , structured exercise training seems to have a positive impact on frail older adults and may be used for the management of frailty
