Standardization and verification of exercise for sarcopenia -randomized controlled trial- - Standardization and verification of exercise for sarcopenia -randomized controlled trial

Among the 72 participants, 67 (93.1%) completed the trial. Group-by-time interactions on the chair stand (p = 0.02) and timed "up and go" (p = 0.01) tests increased significantly in the exercise group. Although the exercise group showed a tendency to prevent loss of muscle mass, no significant interaction effects were observed for cross-sectional muscle area and muscle volume. The 12-week exercise program improved physical function in the intervention group.
