Strong for Life Part 2 – From frailty score to strength prescription (blogs.bmj.com)

• Rockwood CFS used to tailor strength prescription
• Strength training preserves muscle mass and function in aging
• Table maps CFS levels to exercise modalities and safety

"This article from the BJSM blog links the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) to a strength training prescription for managing sarcopenia and frailty in older adults. The table maps each CFS level (1–9) to specific exercise modalities, intensities, and safety considerations. Aimed at clinicians, it provides a pragmatic tool to implement strength training as a modifiable risk factor for frailty, based on current evidence for preserving muscle mass and function."
