This trial will take the form of a feasibility study; designed to assess the feasibility of a proposed future clinical trial in this setting. This proposed future clinical trial is proposed to assess the impact of physical activity, in the form of specialised chair based physical activity intervention, on the physiological, psychological, cognitive, social and emotional health, and functional capacity of geriatric populations with pre-existing frailty within a residential care setting; recognising health as a holistic concept incorporating a multitude of inter-related dimensions. This feasibility study is single-centre (taking place at the Olivet Christadelphian care home, 17 Sherbourne Road, Acocks Green, Birmingham, United Kingdom ).
