Abstract

To determine the feasibility and preliminary effects of a home-based 12-week high-intensity functional strength training (HIFST) intervention for community-dwelling older adults (≥55 years) experiencing preclinical mobility limitations after a slip, trip, or fall.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

The paper claims that a home-based high-intensity functional strength training intervention can improve mobility in older adults with preclinical limitations. The study addresses physical function in older adults, which is crucial for maintaining independence and quality of life, thus contributing to longevity research.
