Overview

Brief Summary

One of the major changes occurring in developed societies is a significant ageing of the population. Nowadays, because of an enhanced life expectancy, 17% of the Spanish population is composed of people over 65 and the number is expected to rise to 33% in 2050. Aging is characterized by a gradual lifelong accumulation of molecular and cellular damage that results in a progressive and generalized impairment in several bodily functions, an increased vulnerability to environmental challenges and a growing risk of disease and risk of death. These facts led to an increase on the prevalence of diseases such as osteoporosis diabetes, sarcopenia, obesity or frailty. However, lifestyles such as physical activity could attenuated aging process, maintaining the autonomy of elders, and it has been demonstrated that even implying guided exercise programs could reverse this condition of frailty and dependence.

In this way, the main aims of this research project are to analyze the effect of a multicomponent exercise program in frailty and pre-frailty people above 65 years and without cognitive impairment. Thus, it is going to be evaluated at the beginning and the end of the study; body composition, physical fitness, blood parameters including vitamin D and other health related parameters included in a questionnaire. Secondly, to study the perdurability of training-related gains over time.

Detailed Description

The training will consist in a multicomponent exercise program, 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). It will take place during morning in groups of 10-14 and trainers will be qualified. Alll the exercise will be adapted for different levels of frailty and for their functional capacity.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Severe cognitive impairment

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Senior fitness test physical performance battery

Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months

A fitness test battery in order to measured physical performance of elderly, it includes: flamingos test (for balance), 30m of walking speed, 30 seconds of sit and reach (strength of lower extremities), 30sconds of arm curl, 6 minutes test (aerobic capacity), sit-up and go test (agility), flexibility of upper and lower extremities. Results are registered without puntuation.

Change of 25-OH Vitamin D concentrations

Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months

25-OH Vitamin D concentration in blood test

Change in SPPB

Time Frame: Change from Baseline at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months

Short Physical Performance Battery by Romberg (SPPB): consist of walking 4m, a balance test with three levels (tandem, semi-tandem and stand up on one foot) and sit up and reach 5 times as fast as possible. Each test could point from 0 to 4, reaching a maximum of 12 months in the battery. Puntuation correspond to; 0-4 points the person is not valid, from 4 to 6 frails and form 7-9 pre-frailt
