Impact of Physical Exercise on Hospitalized Older Adults Malnourished or at Risk, With Oral Nutritional Support

Sponsor: Fundacion Miguel Servet

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this research is to analyze whether nutritional intervention combined with a multicomponent physical training program based on strength, balance, and aerobic exercises can prevent disability caused during hospitalization in individuals aged 75 years or older admitted for medical conditions, thereby improving functional and cognitive capacity. To achieve this objective, we will conduct a randomized clinical trial in which patients are randomly assigned to either the control group, which does not perform the physical training, or the intervention group, which participates in the multicomponent physical training program.

Interventions

OTHER

Physical exercise

Progressive, supervised multicomponent physical exercise program, including aerobic resistance, strength, and balance training. Strength training for lower limbs (leg press and knee extension) and upper limbs (seated chest press) will be adapted to each individual's functional capacity.

OTHER

Usual Care

* Hospital physiotherapy for preventing nosocomial disability when necessary. * Hospital diet modifications appropriate to each participant's clinical situation. * Oral nutritional supplementation aimed at meeting daily nutritional requirements: 30 kcal/kg body weight, 1.5-2 g protein/kg body weight, 25 g daily fiber. * Approximate free water intake: women 1.5 L/day, men 2 L/day (unless clinically restricted).
