Article Abstract
Objectives: The study aimed to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the effects of multicomponent exercise on frailty status and physical function in frail older adults.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Setting And Participants: Older adults aged ≥60 years diagnosed with frailty using the Frailty Assessment Tool.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang were searched from inception to March 10, 2024. Two reviewers independently screened and selected the publications, extracted the data, and assessed risk of bias. This study included randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental designs. Review Manager 5.4 was used for data analysis.
Results: Twenty-eight randomized controlled trials with 4857 older adults were included. Multicomponent exercise significantly improved frailty status (SMD = -1.40, 95 % CI:-2.05 to -0.75, P < .05) and had a significant impact on physical function (muscle strength: SMD = 0.31, 95 % CI: 0.01-0.61, P < .05; gait speed: SMD = 0.27, 95 % CI: 0.02-0.52, P < .001; balance: SMD = 0.27, 95 % CI: 0.05-0.49, P = .02; Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB]: SMD = 1.03, 95 % CI: 0.65-1.42, P < .001; and Timed Up and Go [TUG]: SMD = -3.05, 95 % CI: -3.90 to -2.19, P < .001). Subgroup analysis suggested that a 12-week duration is optimal for multicomponent exercise interventions, demonstrating significantly greater effectiveness in hospital compared with out-of-hospital.
Conclusions: Multicomponent exercise intervention can improve frailty status in older adults and promote enhancement of physical functional abilities (muscle strength, gait speed, balance, SPPB, and TUG). Therefore, a possible protective effect of multicomponent exercise in frailty older adults is suggested.

Graduate School of Physical Education, Myongji University, Yongin, Republic of Korea.
Background: High levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are associated with high mortality and cardiovascular risk. Physical activity is an affordable intervention that is available to most people, but the type and amount of exercise to induce metabolic benefits in T1D are not known with certainty.
Objective: To determine the comparative effectiveness of diverse exercise modes and dosages to influence HbA1c in patients with T1D.

Objective: To identify the comparative efficacy of exercise for reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia.
Methods: Ten databases were systematically searched from their inception to April 29, 2025, with the latest update in July 13, 2025. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies evaluating the effectiveness of exercise on NPS in older adults with MCI or dementia were included.

Approximately 400 million individuals globally are estimated to suffer from Long COVID, an infection-associated chronic condition that occurs after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite the high burden, there are no evidence-based or FDA-approved interventions to treat the condition. Given its complexity, a multicomponent approach grounded in a whole-person health model is likely required.

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a key treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) recommended by all guidelines. However, programmes vary widely and the optimal combination of components to maximise benefits and efficiency remains unknown. We aimed to use the novel technique of component network meta-analysis (cNMA) to investigate the relative contribution of 1) exercise modality and intensity, 2) non-exercise components, 3) type of supervision, and 4) programme duration of PR for people with COPD.

The majority of the 18 million US adults with cancer history ("survivors") do not meet recommendations for obtaining regular physical activity (PA) or limiting sedentary behavior in their daily lives. Breast cancer survivors (BCS) and colon cancer survivors (CCS) are particularly at risk of insufficient PA and excessive sedentary behavior (i.e.
