Scoping review analyzes the impact of resistance training and exercise on sarcopenia, highlighting important findings.
Key Points
Resistance exercise may result in a reduction of sarcopenia, significantly impacting muscle mass and physical capabilities.
Among the 35 studies analyzed, resistance training combined with dietary interventions showed potential benefits, although not statistically significant.
Clinical trials demonstrated that exercises including balance training helped lower fall risks among diverse cohorts.
The evidence suggests that consistent resistance exercise over 16 weeks can positively affect sarcopenia, but further long-term studies are needed.
