| Sumario: | The conclusions of the present Doctoral Thesis were that: 1) Multicomponent exercise programs are efficient strategies to prevent disability and other frailty domains such falls, cognitive decline and depression in frail aged patients. However, it is necessary to explore optimal resistance training components and develop specific clinical guides of physical activity for this target population (Review article). 2) Frail oldest old with and without MCI share functional and neuromuscular outcomes (Study I). 3) Routine multicomponent exercise intervention should be prescribed to frail nonagenarians because overall physical outcomes are improved in this population. (Study II). 4) Systematic multicomponent exercise intervention improved muscle strength, balance and gait ability in frail elderly patients with dementia, even after long-term physical restraint, and these benefits were lost after training cessation (Study III). |
