Sumario:In this Research Topic, we have collected 10 research articles that examine the use of valid testing protocols for accurate diagnosis of frailty and sarcopenia and the application of effective interventions to treat or reverse these conditions. These geriatric research articles offer valuable insights into systems and cutoff values for various populations and age groups, along with the development of more effective, individualized exercise programs. Consequently, these advancements allow for the identification of optimal strategies to preserve functional capacity in older populations.
