What it does not prove

  • Whether improved physical reserve actually translates to preserved cognitive and physical functioning over longer time periods, as this was a 3-month study with unknown follow-up duration
  • Whether training benefits persist beyond the intervention period or in older adults without physical frailty
  • The clinical significance of any neural network changes or their relationship to functional outcomes, as specific results were not reported

Abstract or registry material supplied for assessment; source version 1. This is not a claim of full-text review.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of combined aerobic and resistance training in enhancing physical reserve in older adults with physical frailty.
Compared with usual care (i.e., CON), will 3-month aerobic and resistance training (ATRT) improve physical reserve in older adults with physical frailty?
