NCT ID NCT07707310
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program—including aerobic, strength, and balance training—given to adults aged 75 and older during a hospital stay can prevent disability and improve recovery. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either usual care or the exercise program. Researchers track physical function, daily living skills, cognition, mood, and quality of life up to three months after discharge.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a supervised multicomponent exercise program (aerobic, strength, and balance training) during hospitalization
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this exercise program could become a standard way to prevent disability and speed recovery in older hospitalized patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 300 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patients. Some older adults may find the exercises too challenging.
