Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the feasibility and effect of a 10-week dual-task training program on frailty status in community-dwelling older adults with frailty and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Main question: Is a 10-week dual-task training program, that combines resistance and cognitive training, feasible and accepted by community-dwelling older adults who have frailty and chronic musculoskeletal pain, and what is the effect of a 10-week dual-task training program on the frailty status in community-dwelling older adults who have frailty and chronic musculoskeletal pain? Participants will attend supervised training sessions (either dual-task training \[Intervention group\] or resistance exercise \[Control group\]) for 10 weeks.
