Clinical Trial Summary

The present study is a crossover randomized controlled trial that aims to investigate the effects of concurrent exercise training over usual care on physical performance, muscle strength, and myokines concentrations in frail older adults living in nursing homes.The main questions it aims to answer is: Can a 12-week exercise intervention provide beneficial effects on physical performance, muscle strength and myokines among the most frail participants? Researchers will compare this intervention to usual care. Nursing homes (comprising participants) will be randomly assigned to a sequence of interventions (AB or BA), being A -exercise and B usual care. Participants will be assessed before and after each intervention.
