Clinical Trial Summary

Nowadays, ageing is an important aspect to consider from a social, healthcare and economic perspective. For this reason, it is necessary to focus on all the elements which can help staying healthy and active in old age. Physical activity and exercise are one of these, and more specifically resistance training.


Clinical Trial Description

Recently, it is been evidenced that physical activity and exercise are an important coping strategy to get what is called "active ageing". However, it is still under discussion some key aspect, like the training type or the optimal dose, among others. There is a modality of resistance training which it has not been sufficiently studied in old age population: the high intensity interval training. It has been demonstrated in other population (like cardiovascular patients or cancer survivor patients) that this modality of training can improve a lots their physical condition. Furthermore, it produces a higher adhesion to the training program, because it does not require so long time like another type of training. For this reason, the aim of this investigation is to assess how implement this modality of training on elderly people with sarcopenia. ;
