About this study

Based on the Wellness Motivation Theory (WMT), this study aimed to develop a theoretical model of exercise intervention for the pre-frail elderly. This study was to establish an exercise intervention mode, conduct empirical research through randomized controlled trials, and propose improvement strategies, aiming at improving the effectiveness of health management services for the community-dwelling pre-frail elderly. Specific research objectives are as follows:

  • To develop a theoretical model of exercise intervention for the pre-frail elderly based on the WMT, and to explain the operation mechanism of the exercise intervention mode.
  • An empirical study was conducted to verify the applicability and effectiveness of the exercise intervention mode, analyze the influencing factors of the intervention effect, and propose optimization strategies to improve the exercise intervention effect of the elderly in pre-frailty.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • community-dwelling prefrail older adults based on Fried frailty phenotype;
  • age≥60 years,≤85 years;
  • not engaged in regular physical activity or exercise programs in the previous 6 months;
  • no hearing or visual impairment that might hinder communication;
  • Written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • physical restrictions to perform the tests and/or exercises,

Treatment and study plan

Multicomponent exercises

Behavioral

Performed exercise three times a week, one time at a community health service station and two times at home

Primary outcomes

  1. Reversal of pre-frailty

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    Reversal rate of pre-frailty (from pre-frail to robust in this study)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Self-efficacy for exercise

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    The Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale was designed to test people's confidence to continue exercising despite barriers to exercise. The score of each item ranged from 0 to 10, with higher scores representing greater exercise self-efficacy.
