The traditional cardiac rehabilitation model places emphasis on performing progressively greater volumes of aerobic activity and has consistently demonstrated numerous physiologic, functional, and psychosocial benefits in the average participant. However, performing the required volumes of aerobic exercise can be challenging for participants with physical frailty, which may result in suboptimal outcomes. This presentation will highlight the relevance of physical frailty, its screening methods, and discuss the efficacy of non-aerobic exercise interventions on reversing physical frailty.
