Among completers, pre-frailty\/frailty status decreased from 48.9% to 30.9% (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u2009.01), largely reflecting improvements in exhaustion and low activity, with no significant differences between HIIT and CME. Sarcopenia prevalence was low at baseline and changed minimally across definitions. Participants with baseline pre-frailty\/frailty were more likely to withdraw (P\u00a0=\u2009.03), yet among retained participants demonstrated greater improvements in 400-m walk performance than non-frail participants (\u22127.1% [95%CI \u22128.7, \u22125.4] vs \u22124.6% [95% CI \u22126.3, \u22122.8]). Fatigue improved among participants with baseline pre-frailty\/frailty (\u22123.3 points [95% CI \u22125.7, \u22120.9]) but not in non-frail participants (\u22121.0 points [95% CI \u22123.4, 1.4]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During this supervised exercise trial, favourable frailty phenotype transitions and functional improvements were observed among older PWH, particularly in participants with baseline pre-frailty\/frailty.
