Balance Trainning for Sarcopenic Inpatients Aged 80+ Years

Effect of Balance Training on Mobility and Activities of Daily Living in Sarcopenic Inpatients Aged 80+Years

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: experimental group	Behavioral: balance training; The training to improve balance is to work on the core muscle groups that help to maintain your posture.,and increase muscular strength.; Behavioral: resistance training; 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.
Other: controlled group	Behavioral: resistance training; 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.
