Summary
This study looks at whether 12 months of high-intensity strength training can reduce falls in people aged 80 and older who have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). About 241 older adults living at home or in independent senior housing took part. The goal is to see if regular, progressive resistance exercises can make them stronger and less likely to fall.
