NCT ID NCT07230210
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based way to prevent muscle decline in older adults.

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.
