Effects of a Multicomponent Exercise Program on Frailty, Cognitive Function, and Sleep Quality in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study was aimed to examine the effects of participation in a 12-week multicomponent exercise program on frailty, cognitive function, and sleep quality among older adults. The primary research questions of this study are as follows: 1. Is a multicomponent exercise program effective in reducing frailty levels in older adults? 2. Is a multicomponent exercise program effective in improving cognitive functions (memory, attention, and executive functions) in older adults? 3. Is a multicomponent exercise program effective in improving sleep quality in older adults? The study hypothesizes that participation in a multicomponent exercise program will lead to a reduction in frailty levels, improvement in cognitive functions, and enhancement of sleep quality among older adults. Researchers were compared the multicomponent exercise program to a control group (no intervention) to see if the multicomponent exercise program works on frailty, cognitive function, and sleep quality among older adults. Intervention group participants were: \- attended the multicomponent exercise program, 12-week period, with sessions held twice weekly, each lasting 45-60 minutes, in groups of 6-8 participants at a municipally affiliated healthy living center under nurse supervision.
