New study protocol published

We have published a new F1000 study protocol outlining the development and validation of two structured physical exercise programmes to prevent hospital‑associated disability (HAD) in older adults during hospitalisation. Using evidence from a living systematic review and two Delphi consensus studies, the project aims to define one resistance‑based and one multicomponent exercise programme to support clinical implementation and training in geriatric hospital care.
