Key summary points
Aim
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a multicomponent training protocol and detraining on frailty status, physical activity level, sedentary behavior patterns, and physical performance in pre-frail older adults.
Findings
Pre-frail older adults who participated in a 16-week multicomponent exercise program significantly reversed their frailty status and improved their gait speed, with these improvements being maintained after 6 weeks of follow-up. No significant changes were found in physical activity level, sedentary behavior patterns, and other physical performance variables.
Message
Multicomponent exercise is a significant strategy for reversing frailty status and improving gait speed in pre-frail older adults.
