Review demonstrates that combined aerobic and resistance exercise combats muscle loss in aging adults, highlighting exercise as an effective therapy against mitochondrial dysfunction.

Key Points

To review current diagnostic definitions, cellular and molecular mechanisms, and the therapeutic efficacy of aerobic and resistance exercise in age-related sarcopenia.
Synthesized scientific literature covering molecular drivers of sarcopenia, focusing on myostatin signaling, inflammatory cytokines, and mitochondrial impairments.
Evaluated physiological outcomes from clinical and preclinical studies investigating aerobic, resistance, and combined exercise interventions.
Age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction elevates reactive oxygen species generation, disrupts mitochondrial dynamics, impairs mitophagy, and promotes mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in aging muscle tissue.
Aerobic exercise alleviates mitochondria-derived cellular impairments, whereas resistance exercise directly restores skeletal muscle mass and functional capacity.
Combined aerobic and resistance exercise programs yield additive physiological benefits, serving as the most effective non-pharmacological strategy to counter sarcopenia.
