Overview
Brief Summary
A decrease in muscle mass and function can cause the development of many chronic diseases, including sarcopenia. It has been reported that the best intervention for sarcopenia is exercise. Despite this, the optimal type of exercise for sarcopenia has not yet been determined. Although the holistic approach is used in the literature in the elderly population, it is noticeable that it does not find much space for itself in this patient group. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of holistic approach-based exercise program on individuals with sarcopenia.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The Timed Up&Go Test
Time Frame: Change from baseline at 12 weeks
It is a balance test used in the evaluation of functional mobility in the elderly. In the timed up and go (TUG) test, subjects are asked to rise from a standard armchair, walk to a marker 3 m away, turn, walk back, and sit down again. The elapsed time in this sequence is recorded in seconds. Patients wear their regular footwear and can use a walking aid, if needed.
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
Time Frame: Change from baseline at 12 weeks
The short physical performance battery (SPPB) is a group of measures that combines the results of the gait speed, chair stand and balance tests. It has been used as a predictive tool for possible disability and can aid in the monitoring of function in older people. The scores range from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance). A patient's score below 10 is the inclusion criterion for sarcopenia.
Muscle Mass
Time Frame: Change from baseline at 12 weeks
Muscle ultrasound (US) is a feasible and practical tool to predict sarcopenia. It provides scope for the efficient assessment of muscle quality whilst providing insight into the pathophysiology of sarcopenia in addition to the diagnosis of low muscle mass. US has distinct advantages over other available modalities for muscle mass because the tool allows for separate measurements of individual muscle groups in addition to being safe and portable.
