High-intensity exercise for muscle loss and mood in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a high-intensity exercise program for older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss) and mild depression. It aims to improve physical performance and mental well-being, which could help you stay stronger and feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 60 and 70 years old.
- You must have sarcopenia — a condition where you've lost muscle mass and strength, often shown by weak grip, slow walking, or small calf size.
- You must have mild depression (feeling down or hopeless).
- You cannot have neurological or balance disorders, uncontrolled high blood pressure or heart disease, recent surgeries or fractures, or severe kidney/liver problems.

This trial tests whether a specific strength-training program (called progressive resistance training) can help older adults with both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve muscle strength and overall function.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This trial tests a short exercise program that combines aerobic activity (like walking) with strength exercises to help older adults with diabetes and likely muscle loss. Participating may help you gain strength and better manage your diabetes.
