Assessing the impact of physical exercise on cognitive function in older medical patients during acute hospitalization: secondary analysis of a randomized trial
Background: Acute illness requiring hospitalization frequently is a sentinel event leading to long-term disability in older people. Prolonged bed rest increases the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia in ... -
Changes in muscle power after usual care or early structured exercise intervention in acutely hospitalized older adults
Background: A classic consequence of short-term bed rest in older adults is the significant loss in skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength that underlies the accelerated physical performance deficits. Structured exercise ... -
Comment on 'Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity' by Casas-Herrero et al.-The authors reply.
In this response letter, we would like to clarify some aspects related to the methodology and inferences derived from our work entitled 'Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity', which was ... -
Effect of a multicomponent exercise program and cognitive stimulation (VIVIFRAIL-COGN) on falls in frail community older persons with high risk of falls: study protocol for a randomized multicenter control trial
Background: Falls represent important drivers of intrinsic capacity losses, functional limitations and reduced quality of life in the growing older adult’s population, especially among those presenting with frailty. Despite ... -
Effect of a multicomponent exercise programme (VIVIFRAIL) on functional capacity in frail community elders with cognitive decline: study protocol for a randomized multicentre control trial
Background: The benefit of physical exercise in ageing and particularly in frailty has been the aim of recent research. Moreover, physical activity in the elderly is associated with a decreased risk of mortality, of common ... -
Effect of exercise intervention on functional decline in very elderly patients during acute hospitalization: a randomized clinical trial
Importance: Functional decline is prevalent among acutely hospitalized older patients. Exercise and early rehabilitation protocols applied during acute hospitalization can prevent functional and cognitive decline in older ... -
Ejercicio físico como intervención eficaz en el anciano frágil
El síndrome de la fragilidad define a los ancianos vulnerables que tienen un riesgo elevado de sufrir eventos adversos. Su fisiopatología y etiopatogenia es compleja, pero actualmente disponemos de medidas sencillas ... -
Ejercicio físico en el anciano frágil: una manera eficaz de prevenir la dependencia
Los beneficios del ejercicio físico en el envejecimiento y, específicamente, en la fragilidad han sido objeto de reciente investigación científica. En el anciano, la práctica de actividad física regular se asocia a una ... -
A feasibility study for implementation 'Health Arcade': a study protocol for prototype of multidomain intervention based on gamification technologies in acutely hospitalized older patients
The aim of this article is to present the research protocol for a study that will evaluate the feasibility of implementation of Health Arcade prototype multidomain intervention based on physical and cognitive training using ... -
Functional and cognitive impairment prevention through early physical activity for geriatric hospitalized patients: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background: Frail older adults have reduced functional and physiological reserves, rendering them more vulnerable to the effects of hospitalization, which frequently results in failure to recover from the pre-hospitalization ... -
Inter-individual variability in response to exercise intervention or usual care in hospitalized older adults
Background: Exercise protocols applied during hospitalization can prevent functional and cognitive decline in older adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the individual response of acutely hospitalized patients ... -
Multicomponent exercise program and functional capacity in institutionalized frail and cognitive impairment nonagerians
Las principales conclusiones de esta Tesis Doctoral fueron las siguientes: 1) Los programas de ejercicio multicomponente son estrategias eficaces para prevenir la discapacidad y otros dominios de la fragilidad tales como ...
