Overview
Brief Summary
Sarcopenia is one of the main problems in the elderly population. The concept of disease has evolved, as have its treatment strategies. Among these is high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This approach has been little studied in older adults with sarcopenia, especially in institutionalized older adults in nursing homes. So this will be the objective of the study. A randomised clinical trial is being conducted to analyse how these diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia evolve after the application of HIIT compared to a control group.
