About Vivifrail PROFIT

This App allows older people to be classified, based on the conclusions made within the framework of the Erasmus+ project called Vivifrail (www.vivifrail.com), based on their risk of loss of functional capacity, dependency and risk of falls. Once the elderly have been categorized, the App proposes the implementation of an individualized multicomponent physical training program for the prevention of frailty and falls in people over 70 years of age (© Mikel Izquierdo. Multicomponent physical exercise program for the prevention of frailty and risk of falls, 2017)

The multicomponent physical training program is based on a series of exercises that will allow, depending on the level of functional capacity of the elderly (severe limitation, moderate limitation and mild limitation), and will allow the development of:

• Strength and power, both arms and legs.
• Balance and walking, in order to avoid falls.
• Flexibility.
• Resistance through cardiovascular exercises.

By following these simple programs, an elderly person can improve functional capacity, as well as avoid frailty syndrome and the risk of falls.
