Chair based exercises were significantly effective in improving the mobility and function and preventing the risk of falls among frail elderly population.

This study yields reasonable and promising evidence regarding exercise’s influence on quality of life and depression in frail older individuals, however, the impact on biochemical markers remains inconclusive, emphasizing the need for standardized methodologies.

CBE enhances physical endurance and quality of life among older women in the selected community and can be an exercise option for this population of older adults.

Physical fitness training can be effective for vulnerable older adults, although lower frequencies and intensities are also beneficial, and exercise characteristics from current existing guidelines are widely applicable.

CBE may be appropriate for elderly population who has activity limitation and may be useful for those who cannot participate in other form of exercise.

Findings suggest beneficial effects of seated exercises on balance and mobility outcomes in those with a stroke, compared with standard therapy or an attention control.

Widespread adoption of this device could reduce program costs and improve access to quality fitness opportunities for older adults, and suggest this hand-held device is as or more efficacious as a traditional resistance program that utilizes several pieces of equipment.

A narrative review of the literature employing the International Narrative Systematic Assessment tool was conducted to develop an updated framework for the main measurement tools to assess frailty risks in older adults, paying attention to use in the community and primary care settings.

The intervention appeared to have contributed to the maintenance of the physical condition of older women temporarily disabled as a result of a fracture and subsequent hip surgery, and whether or not the submaximal chair exercise regimen was of optimal benefit remains unclear.

In conclusion, simple progressive exercise training, even in the 10th decade, increases muscle power and is associated with an improved performance of functional activities using the trained muscles.

It is confirmed that exercise as a single intervention can prevent falls and recommended that exercise for falls prevention should provide a moderate or high challenge to balance and be undertaken for at least 2 hours per week on an ongoing basis.

The ability of the Clinical Frailty Scale to predict death or need for institutional care, and correlated the results with those obtained from other established tools are determined.

Frail persons appear to be at an increased risk of developing stroke and a number of shorter tests to screen for frailty have been developed, but a need to compare these simpler tests to the more complex tests discussed in the previous paragraph.

This study provides a potential standardized definition for frailty in community-dwelling older adults and offers concurrent and predictive validity for the definition, and finds that there is an intermediate stage identifying those at high risk of frailty.

A beneficial effect of cognition is suggested using a music-based exercise programme in a group of patients with moderate to severe dementia, and further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

The potential of resistance exercise to improve neuromuscular strength and function in the lower extremities among community-dwelling people with dementia is evaluated and improvements in some areas of muscular capacity and most tests of lower-extremity function are demonstrated.

The community based exercise programme was more cost effective than many existing medical interventions, and would be practical for primary care commissioning agencies to implement.
