Ultrasound Assessment of Muscle Architecture Before and After the Implementation of a Physical Exercise Regime in the Water in a Frail Elderly Population

Completed Not Applicable NCT03955302

Study Description

It is an experimental, longitudinal prospective, controlled trial. The project will be developed in the General University Hospital of Valencia (CHGUV), and the University of Valencia. Patients will be recruited from a previous cohort. The patients of this cohort will be contacted and proposed to participate. Those patients who accept, will be divided into the following experimental groups: * Group 1: Patients in this group will perform the water exercise protocol, 3 times a week, for 12 weeks. * Group 2: Patients in this group will not perform any type of exercise during the 12 weeks of the treatment. Variables related to muscular quality by ultrasound, frailty, physical function, independence in the activities of daily life, balance, cognitive function, quality of life and sleep, the social sphere will be evaluated, and the intensity of pain and fatigue, before and after12 weeks of intervention.
