| Research Abstract |
In this study, the researcher developed a new exercise program for physically frail elderly persons. Effects of the program on functional fitness were confirmed in case that the program was offered for 3 months. It was also confirmed that the program could be useful as correspondence education program. These results are important for the national government and municipalities when they promote care prevention policy, because the number of frail elderly persons would be significantly increased. Further researches are required to modify the exercise program to develop cognitive function and quality of life.
