Brief Summary

Resistance training and aerobic exercise have been recommended for sarcopenic patients. However, whether balance training would further benefit for sarcopenic patients on the basis of resistance training and aerobic exercise remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of balance training on improving the mobility of elderly patients with sarcopenia. Balance training involves doing exercises that strengthen the muscles that help keep the aged upright, including the legs and core. These kinds of exercises can improve stability and help prevent falls.

Behavioral: resistance training

Interventions

balance training BEHAVIORAL

The training to improve balance is to work on the core muscle groups that help to maintain your posture.,and increase muscular strength.

experimental group

resistance training BEHAVIORAL

Resistance training is a form of exercise that improves muscular strength and endurance. During a resistance training workout, you move your limbs against resistance provided by your body weight, gravity, bands, weighted bars or dumbbells.
