Physical activity Group
"This intervention consists of a 48-week structured physical activity program designed to counteract age-related muscle decline. Participants assigned to this group will engage in a home-based exercise program, including muscle-strengthening exercises (bodyweight exercises targeting major muscle groups; progressive difficulty based on individual capacity; designed for feasibility in daily life, requiring no specialized equipment) and aerobic exercise (moderate-intensity cardiovascular activity (e.g., brisk walking, cycling); target heart rate between 65-75% of the estimated maximum heart rate).~The program follows guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and aims to improve muscle strength, function, and quality of life. It is distinct from other studies as it specifically targets preventing sarcopenia and muscle loss through a practical, home-based, and scalable intervention.~Participants will be monitored through periodic assessments."
