Who is studied
The study population consists of older adults aged 70 years and above who are currently enrolled in the frailty prevention program within the Galician public health system. These individuals have been identified as frail or pre-frail through routine primary care screening and demonstrate sufficient functional capacity, as indicated by a Barthel Index score of 90 or higher, reflecting independence in basic activities of daily living. Eligible participants must be able to understand the study procedures and provide informed consent, ensuring that they can engage safely and meaningfully in the intervention. All participants are actively involved in the structured frailty program delivered by primary care physiotherapy services, which focuses on preventing functional decline and reducing the risk of falls. Individuals will be excluded if they present with any medical contraindication to exercise.
