Summary

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine formula, taken as granules twice daily, can boost the effects of elastic band exercises in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). About 106 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the real formula or a placebo, alongside a 3-month exercise program. The main goal is to see if the combination improves physical performance, walking speed, balance, and quality of life more than exercise alone.
