The effect of resistance training for older adults with cognitive frailty: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive decline and the progression to dementia are hastened in individuals with cognitive frailty. Exercise interventions benefit cognitive function in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or frailty. While the optimal implementation of resistance training for cognitive frailty is still being explored. The aims of this study were to develop and evaluate the effect of a novel, hybrid online-offline resistance training regimen for the cognitive frailty cohort.

Methods

In this single-blind, randomized controlled trial, 68 individuals with MCI and frailty or pre-frailty were enrolled and allocated to either a resistance training program or a standard senior fitness exercise regimen. The resistance training, designed based on the intervention mapping framew
