What this study is about

Sixty obese elderly women will be recruited from Fawkia hospital outpatient clinic diagnosed by sarcopenia and randomly allocated into two groups for a 12-week intervention. Patients will be divided into 2 groups (A and B): * Group A (combined intervention group: n=30): will perform supervised resistance exercise training three times per week and follow a high-protein diet (1.3 g protein/kg/day) * Group B (control group: n=30): will receive a high-protein diet and general health advices and be asked to maintain their usual lifestyle. They will be offered the intervention post-study.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Primary outcomes

balance assessment12 weeks

The Biodex Balance System SD features five test protocols and six training modes, allowing for both testing and training in either static or dynamic formats. It is intended to be a system that can provide accurate Fall Risk Screening and conditioning for older adults, can be used as a balance assessment tool for concussion management, and can serve as weight-bearing assessment and training for lower extremity injuries.
