Implication

Literature review shows resistance training improves muscle function in older adults, suggesting effective interventions for sarcopenia.

Key Points

  • This review aims to summarize definitions of sarcopenia and evaluate the effectiveness of resistance training as an intervention.
  • Literature search for randomized controlled trials on resistance training effects from 2014 to 2024 across multiple databases.
  • Data extraction and quality assessment of eligible studies were performed independently by the researchers.
  • Strength training increases muscle strength in adults over 60 by enhancing muscle growth and motor unit recruitment.
  • Training at 60% to 85% of maximum voluntary strength is effective, with high-intensity training (above 85%) required for optimal force development.
  • Healthy older adults benefit from training 3-4 times per week, while those with lower performance improve with less frequent sessions.
