A structured hybrid exercise programme for pre-frail older adults in primary care: A feasibility and pilot study

The structured hybrid exercise program was feasible in a primary care setting and associated with improvements in physical function among community-dwelling pre-frail older adults. Feasibility was demonstrated through strong attendance, completion rates and participant satisfaction. Despite no significant change in self-reported physical activity, the combination of in-person supervision and home-based exercise appears promising for scalable pre-frailty management. This pilot study's positive findings support further evaluation in a controlled trial and suggest that such hybrid models can be implemented to engage pre-frail seniors in regular exercise.
