Summary

This study tested whether a simple, low-cost exercise program using elastic bands could help older adults in rural long-term care facilities delay or prevent sarcopenia, a condition that causes muscle loss and weakness. Sixty participants aged 60 and older did 30-minute sessions twice a week for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if this approach could improve muscle mass, strength, and walking speed, and be easily used in places with limited resources.
