Abstract:
Objective:To compare the differences in the rehabilitation effects of resistance training on elderly individuals with sarcopenia and those suffering from sarcopenia possibly.Method:A total of 64 elderly people aged 60 to 80 years old were selected,including 36 diagnosed sarcope-nia patients and 28 potential sarcopenia patients with decreased physical function.They underwent resistance muscle strength training for 4 weeks each.The effects of resistance training on body composition,muscle strength,balance function and fall risk,cardiopulmonary endurance,instrumental activities of daily living(IADL),and quality of life were analyzed.Result:After 4 weeks of training,both groups showed significant improvements in grip strength,30 second bending frequency,30 second sitting frequency,knee extension strength and single leg standing time,Berg balance scale(BBS),and timed up and go test(TUGT)(P<0.05 for all),but there was no significant change in body composition.The improvement in grip strength and six-minute walk test(6MWT)in the elderly possi-bly suffering from sarcopenia was more significant than that in the sarcopenia group(P<0.05).The sarcopenia group showed significant improvement in multiple dimensions of IADL and quality of life.There was no signif-icant difference in the changes in IADL and quality of life between the two groups.Conclusion:Compared with elderly people with sarcopenia,four weeks of early resistance training can more significantly improve muscle strength and cardiorespiratory endurance in potentially elderly people with sarcope-nia who have already experienced a decline in somatic function but have not yet met the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia.
