简要总结
Comparative effect of yoga and qigong on muscle strength, muscle mass, physical performance, and frailty in older adults with osteosarcopenia is an emerging area of interest in geriatric rehabilitation. Osteosarcopenia, characterized by the coexistence of low bone mass and reduced muscle mass and function, significantly increases the risk of falls, fractures, and functional decline in older adults. Both yoga and qigong are mind–body exercises known to improve balance, strength, and overall physical performance; however, evidence directly comparing their effects in individuals with osteosarcopenia is limited. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of yoga and qigong on muscle strength, muscle mass, physical performance, and frailty in older adults aged 60–70 years with osteosarcopenia. A total of 46 participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: one group receiving yoga intervention and the other receiving qigong intervention. The interventions will be administered for a specified duration under supervision, and outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention period using validated measurement tools. The findings of this study may help identify an effective exercise strategy for improving musculoskeletal health and reducing frailty in this population.
