NCT ID NCT07399301
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether high-intensity functional training can improve physical performance and mental health in elderly people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Sixty participants aged 60-70 will be split into two groups: one doing intense exercises 3 times a week for 10 weeks, and the other doing sham exercises. The main goal is to see if the training improves balance, strength, and walking speed.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
High-intensity functional training exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple exercise program to help elderly people with sarcopenia move better and feel better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The sham exercise group may also improve, making it hard to see a clear benefit. Results may not apply to all elderly people.
