ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a physical exercise program called Vivifrail, which is designed to help older adults living in care centers improve their strength, balance, and overall physical ability. The study will involve two groups of participants: one group will follow the Vivifrail exercise program for 12 weeks, while the other group will not participate in the program. Researchers will measure how effective the program is by looking at various factors such as physical performance, risk of falling, grip strength, and muscle size.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be at least 70 years old, live in a long-term care center, and be able to walk on their own with a doctor's approval. It's important to note that some health conditions, like recent heart issues or uncontrolled high blood pressure, may exclude individuals from participating. If you or a family member meet the eligibility criteria, joining this study could be a great way to potentially enhance physical health and well-being.
