Intervention group (ViviFrail)

The participant will be guided to follow a daily exercise routine at home, lasting 30-45 minutes, from Monday to Friday, over six months. A one-week break every six weeks for reassessment, totaling seven months of activities, will be provided. They will be informed that every six weeks, they may receive new exercises in their exercise passport or continue with the same, based on their physical reassessment. Each exercise passport will have a wheel illustrating the exercise circuit for easy reference. An 'Activity Diary' will be provided for tracking progress and frequency. During 'CIRCUIT' sessions, participants should complete the entire circuit, while 'WALKING' sessions should focus solely on walking for that day. They will be motivated to keep this diary updated. The ViviFrail exercise passports cater to various levels of physical frailty and fall risk and can be accessed at https://vivifrail.com/en/materials-2/.

Group Suggestions for a Healthy Life (CG)

The participants in the group Suggestions for a healthy life (CG) will receive guidance on maintaining a healthy and independent lifestyle for three months. They will also be provided with a booklet containing strength, balance, and flexibility activities, suggesting that participants perform these activities five times a week, for around 30 minutes per day. At the end of the initial three complete months of the intervention (14 weeks), participants in the control group will commence the ViviFrail exercise protocol and will continue until the end of the study. Throughout the entire study period, participants in the control group will receive the same monitoring as the intervention group.
