Summary

This trial tests whether a personalized, home-based exercise program called Vivifrail can improve physical function, muscle health, and thinking skills in adults aged 90 and older. Participants are split into three groups: exercising twice a week, three times a week, or a control group. Researchers measure changes in balance, walking speed, and chair-stand ability over 12 and 24 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a home-based multicomponent exercise program called Vivifrail, tailored to each person's abilities
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, home-based exercise plan to help the oldest adults stay mobile, strong, and sharp.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require a caregiver's support, which may limit who can take part.
