Simple daily moves may reverse Age-Related muscle decline
NCT ID NCT07494916
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 12-week program of functional task training (like standing up, walking, and carrying objects) can improve muscle strength and daily function in older adults with sarcopenia. 30 people aged 60 and older will be randomly assigned to different exercise groups. The goal is to see which type of training works best for improving muscle health and physical performance.
