ABSTRACT

Sarcopenia is a progressive condition associated with aging, characterized by a reduction in muscle strength and mass, which can coincide with various chronic diseases. Exercise is a critical component in the therapeutic approach to sarcopenia. Regular physical activity significantly enhances the quality of life for elderly patients with the condition. However, due to the variability in the progression of sarcopenia among individuals, a one-size-fits-all exercise program is not suitable. This study, therefore, examines the existing literature on exercise-based interventions, analyzing the diverse exercise modalities, regimens, and their respective effectiveness in improving the condition. The goal is to develop personalized exercise prescriptions for individuals with sarcopenia, providing a robust theoretical framework and empirical evidence to guide clinical practice and future research.
