Could Pre-Exercise training boost strength in aging muscles?

This study tests whether an 8-week functional resistance training programme is practical and acceptable for older adults with probable sarcopenia—early muscle weakness that can affect mobility and independence. Participants will be randomly assigned to do the same exercises either in a supervised clinic setting or at home, with movements mimicking daily activities like standing and lifting. The main goal is to see if people will join, stick with, and safely complete the programme, while also exploring potential improvements in strength, physical function, and quality of life.
