Exercise Intervention Strategies for Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review from Mechanism to Clinical Practice

Sarcopenia is characterized by decreased muscle mass, decreased strength, and loss of function and can lead to poor outcomes such as frailty, falls, fractures, disability, reduced quality of life, increased complication rates and mortality, and increased medical costs. With the acceleration of the global aging process, the incidence of sarcopenia has increased significantly, and has become one of the major public health problems and social and economic problems threatening the health of the whole people. Sarcopenia is a common degenerative disease of muscle mass and function in older adults that significantly affects quality of life and health expectations. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of exercise intervention strategies on sarcopenia, analyze its mechanism of action, and evaluate its application in clinical practice. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, the effects of different types of exercise (such as strength training, aerobic exercise, balance training, etc.) on muscle mass, strength and function were evaluated, so as to provide evidence-based evidence for clinical development of effective exercise intervention programs.
