Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week smartphone-based program can help older adults at risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) maintain muscle mass and strength. The program includes exercise videos, nutrition tips, daily reminders, and a point system to keep users engaged. Sixty participants will be split into two groups: one using the app, the other receiving standard care. The goal is to see if the app improves muscle mass, physical performance, and quality of life.

Active substance: Line Bot platform delivering exercise videos, nutrition education, reminders, and logging
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based way to prevent muscle decline in older adults.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program relies on smartphone use, which may limit who can benefit.
