Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week resistance exercise program, done three times a week, can improve physical fitness, community involvement, and sleep quality in older adults living in the community who have metabolic dynapenia—a condition of muscle weakness linked to metabolic issues. Half of the participants will follow the exercise program, while the other half continues their usual activities. The goal is to see if this type of exercise can offer a practical way to enhance overall well-being in aging populations.
