Summary

This study looked at whether a personalized physical activity program could help older adults who are frail or at risk of becoming frail. Nearly 1,000 participants aged 65 and older had their strength, thinking skills, and well-being assessed. They then received a custom exercise plan, and were re-evaluated after three months to see if their health improved.
