ABOUT THE FITTEST STUDY


FITTEST stands for Frailty Interventions Through Specific Therapies. Programs that promote good nutrition, regular exercise, optimization of medicines, and social support networks are proven to reduce frailty levels. Despite their effectiveness, these programs are not routinely available, and participation is not always consistent.


Accelerate Rehab is proud to participate in the FITTEST Study, where we will evaluate different methods to support older individuals in engaging with frailty prevention programs. Our goal is to determine whether a supervised or self-directed activity program can effectively slow or reverse frailty in older adults.


What is involved if I participate?


The program is designed to optimize your exercise, nutrition, medication, and social support, grounded in the latest research, with check-ins at 6 and 12 months.


You will be randomly assigned to either a self-directed program with online resources or a supported program, which includes two weekly exercise sessions with an exercise professional, a dietitian assessment, and fortnightly/monthly health coach support, along with online resources.
