Clinical Trial: Effects of Resistance-based Exercise Snacks With Varying Fragmentation Patterns on Lower Limb Function and Executive Cognition in Pre-frail Older Adults

U.S., April 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07551206) titled 'Effects of Resistance-based Exercise Snacks With Varying Fragmentation Patterns on Lower Limb Function and Executive Cognition in Pre-frail Older Adults' on April 19.

Brief Summary: This four-arm randomized pilot trial (N=48-60) compares four fragmentation patterns of a three-exercise resistance snack (sit-to-stand, squat, heel raise; 15 repetitions/exercise/day) in pre-frail older adults (Fried score 1-2, >=70 years). Groups differ by repetitions/boutxbouts/day: G1=1x15, G2=3x5, G3=5x3, G4=15x1. Outcomes (lower limb strength, balance, executive function) are assessed at baseline, week 4, and week 8. The study will determine the op...
