Summary
This study tested whether a 6-month exercise program called Vivifrail could improve physical function, thinking skills, and quality of life in 80 older adults (ages 60-80) with type 2 diabetes and frailty. Participants exercised three times a week, with increasing intensity over 24 weeks. Researchers measured handgrip strength, walking speed, balance, and daily living activities at the start, 3 months, and 6 months.
