Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a combined exercise-nutrition intervention in primary clinics on sarcopenia indices, physical function, and quality of life in community-dwelling older adults with possible sarcopenia.

Detailed description

This study will investigate the effects of a 12-week combined exercise-nutrition intervention by comparing it with a control group receiving standard care (usual care) by assessing the sarcopenia indicators, functional recovery, and individual satisfaction. This is an interventional clinical study designed to recruit subjects, analyze data, identify problems, find improvement areas, and explore potential solutions.

Conditions

• Sarcopenia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Experimental group	1. Exercise interventions * Measuring blood pressure and weight: before starting exercise * Flexibility exercises: 5-10 minutes of stretching * Strength exercises: Consists of 4 upper body exercises (Biceps Curl, Dips, Front raise, Chest press) and 5 lower body exercises (Leg lateral rotation, Leg extension, Hip abduction, Squat, Heel raise).
