  Background: Although several systematic reviews have shown the effects of exercise interventions on frailty, no exercise intervention studies based on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) have been conducted, and no studies investigated whether robust, pre-frailty and frailty has specificity of effectiveness on frailty related indices with same exercise training (ET). Objectives: The aim of this study is examine the effect of ET based on CPET on physical, cognitive and psychological frailty including with health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and verified whether there are specificity of exercise effectiveness on frailty related indices with same ET among community-dwelling robust, pre-frailty and frailty older adult.
