What it does not prove
- The abstract does not report actual results, effect sizes, or sample size, so the magnitude and statistical significance of any benefit cannot be determined
- Outcomes were measured only through 3-month follow-up, leaving longer-term durability unknown
- The trial compares against an active control (muscle relaxation alone) rather than no intervention, so the independent contribution of strength training alone cannot be isolated

Abstract or registry material supplied for assessment; source version 1. This is not a claim of full-text review.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined strength training and progressive muscle relaxation program compared with progressive muscle relaxation alone.
The intervention will last 10 weeks, with assessments conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 3-month follow-up.
Primary outcomes include frailty, anxiety, and caregiver burden.
