Impact of Power Training on Older Women with Sarcopenia
Study Overview
This study aims to evaluate how power training (PT) affects body composition and functionality in women over 65 years old who are at risk of sarcopenia, a condition marked by muscle loss and weakness.
Background
Sarcopenia often occurs due to hormonal changes in older women, leading to muscle atrophy even without visible muscle mass loss. While various exercises have shown benefits, power training has not yet been explored in this specific group.
Methodology
We will conduct a randomized controlled trial involving three groups:
- Power Training (PT) Group
- Multicomponent Training (MT) Group
- No-Exercise Group
Participants will be women aged 65 and older, diagnosed with probable sarcopenia. Assessments will measure body composition and physical performance before and after a 32-week intervention. Each group will engage in three 50-minute sessions per week. The study will utilize a double-blind approach for unbiased results.
Expected Outcomes
We anticipate that power training will significantly enhance functionality and body composition compared to other exercise forms and no activity. This research aims to advance understanding of sarcopenia, providing preventive measures and practical solutions.
Trial Information
The clinical trial is registered under ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05870046.
