How different exercises affect gut health in older adults with muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of exercise can change the bacteria in your gut for older adults who have muscle loss (sarcopenia). You will be assigned to one of two exercise programs to see which one helps your muscles and gut health the most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older.
- You have signs of muscle loss, such as weak grip strength or slow walking speed.
- You are not very physically active (less than 2.5 hours of moderate exercise per week).
- You are willing to join either exercise group the study assigns you to.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or kidney conditions that would make exercise unsafe.

This study looks at how gut changes (including inflammation) may relate to muscle problems in older adults. You may be invited to provide stool (feces) samples and undergo further testing after a screening visit.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This study looks at gut bacteria differences between older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia), healthy older adults, and younger adults. Results may help develop probiotics to support muscle health.
This study looks at how diet and gut health relate to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in adults 60 and older. It aims to understand links between inflammation, gut bacteria, and muscle strength so we can find better ways to prevent frailty.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This study tests a short, combined exercise program (mixing cardio and strength training) for people 60+ with type 2 diabetes who have signs of muscle loss. The goal is to see if this exercise approach can improve strength, physical function, and overall health.
