TrackFrailty: Track to Prevent, Mitigate, and Reverse Frailty

The TRACKFRAILTY project aims to answer the following main research questions: i) What is the prevalence of physical frailty in individuals living in residential care facilities (RCF) from Portugal's Cova da Beira subregion (Interior Center Region)? ii) What factors best predict frailty status? iii) Is strength training effective in reversing physical frailty in RCF residents? iv) In the long term, what dose of strength training volume is needed to promote the most significant health benefits in frail RCF residents? Based on these research questions, the TRACKFRAILTY project aims to quantify the prevalence of frailty in Portuguese RCF residents from the Cova da Beira subregion and analyze the effects of long-term strength training with different volumes on reversing physical frailty.
