Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are English-literate adults 50–80 who are relatively healthy but untrained, have VO₂peak and cognitive performance below the 75th percentile, can attend all visits at the MD11 Clinical Research Centre in Singapore, and can follow exercise and supplement protocols.
✕Probably not a fit
People with major cardiovascular disease, more than two unstable chronic conditions, recent major medication changes, those already engaged in regular resistance or aerobic training, or those outside the age/location requirements are unlikely to benefit from this program.

What this trial studies
This interventional program delivers an individualized, multimodal geromedicine package over eight weeks, combining supervised exercise and exergaming with sleep and dietary counseling, motivational interviewing, and targeted supplements. Participants are adults 50–80 who are relatively healthy but untrained and score below the 75th percentile for VO₂peak and cognitive tests. The protocol tailors interventions to baseline diagnostics and adapts based on participant response while tracking muscle, cognitive, immune, clinical, biological, and digital biomarkers. The main aims are to test feasibility and to detect short-term improvements in functional and biological markers of aging.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could slow early functional decline and improve muscle, cognitive, and immune markers to help prolong healthy years in middle-aged and older adults.
How similar studies have gone: Individual components like resistance exercise, protein and creatine supplementation, and lifestyle coaching have shown benefits in prior studies, but combining them into a personalized geroscience intervention of this type remains relatively novel.
