Abstract:
Frailty is a clinical condition associated with aging, encompassing deficiencies in physical performance, nutritional status, mental health, and cognition.Physical exercise has proven to be an effective strategy for maintaining functional abilities and alleviating frailty symptoms in older adults.Exercise helps in preserving or enhancing bone density, muscle mass, strength, and overall function.In recent years, there has been increasing attention on the impact of resistance exercise on the prognosis of frailty in the elderly population.This article explores the mechanisms of resistance exercise in preventing and treating frailty, examines the effects of different types of resistance exercise on age-related weakness, and reviews related research on the use of resistance exercise for preventing and treating frailty.The findings of this study provide valuable insights for developing precise exercise prescriptions that incorporate multiple modes of exercise for frail older patients.
