Starting as early as age 30-35, we all begin to lose muscle mass and strength gradually. However, some of us lose it more quickly due to a serious condition called sarcopenia, which becomes more common with age.

Sarcopenia is a serious condition that can significantly impact a person’s quality of life by:

Reducing the ability to perform simple tasks of daily living like walking up stairs or getting out of a chair.
Increasing disability which may lead to loss of independence and the need for long-term care.

Sarcopenia can lead to other health problems/complications such as:
Raising the risk of falls and fractures
Increasing the need for and the length of hospitalizations
Increasing complications post-surgery
Raising the risk of death

The primary treatment for sarcopenia is exercise, specifically resistance training or strength training. These activities increase muscle strength and endurance using weights or resistance bands.

Resistance training can help your neuromuscular system, hormones. It also can improve an older adult's ability to convert protein to energy in as little as two weeks. The proper number, intensity, and frequency of resistance exercise is important for getting the most benefit with the least risk of injury.
