Summary
This trial explores whether Yi Jin Jing, a traditional Chinese exercise, can improve muscle and bone health in adults aged 18 to 90. Participants will practice the exercise, and researchers will measure changes in muscle mass and handgrip strength. The goal is to see if this gentle practice can help prevent age-related muscle loss and frailty.
