Background: The measurement of physical performance constitutes an indicator of the physical functional capacity of older adults with and without frailty. Aim: To present a synthesis of knowledge on the effect of exercise programs on physical performance in older adults with and without frailty in the community. Method: A systematic review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA-2020 criteria. The search for articles was made until 4 May 2023 in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, SciELO and LILACS. The outcome variable was physical performance, measured through the SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery). The mean difference (MD) was estimated to evaluate the effect. Result: We found 2483 studies, of which 12 met the eligibility criteria for the systematic review and 9 for the meta-analysis. The effect of exercise on SPPB scores was significantly higher in the exercise group compared to control in non-frail older adults with MD = 0.51 [95% CI, 0.05 to 0.96, p < 0.05]. Likewise, in older adults with frailty, the effect of exercise on the global SPPB score was significantly higher in the exercise group compared to the control with MD = 0.66 [95% CI, 0.09 to 1.24, p < 0.05]. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that exercise programs are effective in increasing and/or maintaining physical performance in older adults with and without frailty, whose effect is more evident in older adults with frailty, probably due to the greater margin of recovery of intrinsic capacity. This systematic review shows the differentiated effect of exercise training on physical performance in older adults with and without frailty. Scientific evidence reinforces the importance of implementing physical exercise programs in all older adults, including those who are frail. However, it is necessary to specify the types and doses (duration, frequency and intensity), for individualized groups, previously grouped according to the SPPB score.

Background/Objectives: Tai Chi (TC) practice has been shown to positively affect the physical, psychological, and cognitive health of older adults. However, discrepancies persist regarding its effectiveness compared to strength training (ST). This study aimed to determine the effect of TC training compared to ST on body composition, physical performance, cognitive function, and psychological well-being in older adults. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a convenience sample of 68 women 60 years or older, divided into three groups: (i) Tai Chi Group (TCG) n = 26; (ii) Strength Training Group (STG) n = 21; and (iii) Control Group (CG) n = 21. TCG and STG performed physical training four days a week, 60 min/day, for six months. All participants were assessed for body composition (BFP, body fat percentage; SMM, skeletal muscle mass; SMMI, skeletal muscle mass index); physical performance (4MWT, 4 m walk test; STST, sit-to-stand test; OPP, overall physical performance; HGS, handgrip strength) and Wellbeing (PWBS, psychological well-being scale of Ryff, validated for the Mexican population). The data were analyzed per protocol using repeated-measures ANOVA (TCG & STG vs. CG; TCG vs. STG), and the mean difference (MD) was calculated. Results: TCG showed statistically significant changes in body composition, BFP (MD, −3.4 ± 8.2, p < 0.05), SMM (MD, 1.6 ± 1.4, p < 0.001), and SMMI (MD, 0.72 ± 0.61, p < 0.001) after the intervention compared to CG. However, no differences were observed between TCG and STG (p > 0.05). Regarding physical performance, TCG showed significant changes in 4MWT (MD, −1.0 ± 1.8, p < 0.01) and STST (MD, −3.7 ± 4.8, p < 0.05) compared to CG. Differences were also observed in STST between TCG and STG (MD, −3.7 ± 4.8 vs. 0.45 ± 3, p < 0.05). In addition, TCG showed a significant increase in HGS (MD, 1.1 ± 1.9, p < 0.05) compared to CG, although no differences were observed with STG (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that TC is more effective than strength training for improving body composition, physical performance, and handgrip strength in older adults living in the community.

Review question / Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to present a synthesis of knowledge about the effect of self-care programs on the functional capacity in community-dwelling older adults. For this reason, the following question will be addressed: ¿What is the effect of self-care programs on the functional capacity in community-dwelling older adults? P: Community-dwelling older adults; I: Self-care programs for healthy aging; C: Without self-care programs; O: Functional capacity (SPPB, Short Physical Performance Battery; IADL, instrumental activities of daily living; AADL, advanced activities of daily living) and wellbeing (self-esteem, quality of life, life satisfaction). Information sources: A systematic search was performed of scientific data on five data bases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS, and TESIUNAM.
