This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized Physical Exercise Prescription Program delivered in Primary Care for adults aged 65 years and older. The intervention includes a structured assessment of physical fitness, muscle function and mass, physical activity level, and quality of life, followed by a tailored exercise plan encompassing aerobic, strength, respiratory, flexibility, and balance training. Outcomes will be compared with a control group receiving standard health advice to walk briskly for at least 30 minutes daily. The study also explores associations between polypharmacy, muscle function, physical performance, and quality of life.
