Frailty is known as clinical syndrome characterized (1st) and also known as fall syndrome (2nd) in the elderly people. It is also related concepts about involuntary weight loss, decreased flexibility, decreased muscle strength and even dysfunction of endocrine system. Therefore, increased morbidity, many chronic disease, sacropenia and even fracture is related mechanism with frailty. Until now, Many researches revealed that the participation of promoting strength and flexibility with regular exercise training in the elderly. The purpose of this investigation is about the impacts of muscle strength and flexibility on frailty in the elderly people. For this research purpose, PubMed database was searched from March of 2016 to July of 2019 using predefined search terms ‘muscle strength’, ‘fraility’, and‘ flexibility and elderly. Based on reference search, more than over 100 articles were identified whereas 27 papers (10 references) met the inclusion criteria and were well connected with frailty, strength, and flexibility. From this research, we analyzed the connections among frailty with strength exercise and flexibility with many variables in the elderly. Through this study, we analyzed the importance of muscle strength and flexibility promotion with physical exercise on fall and frailty in the elderly people. Further study about exercise program on frailty and fall is urgently needed in this area.
