Physical frailty is characterized by a decline in muscle mass and strength, flexibility, balance, neuromuscular coordination, and cardiovascular function. Frailty is a common occurrence among older adults. In order to prevent frailty or stop it from continuing, an exercise program is recommended. Evidence shows that structured exercise training has a positive impact on older adults and may be used for the management of weaker muscles.
