隨著人口快速老化,高齡族群健康議題逐步受到重視。因年齡增長肌肉量流失所造成的肌少症,使老年族群逐漸失能。過去研究指出阻力運動訓練措施可有效減緩肌少症的進展,能有效增加肌肉質量和力量;良好的營養攝取亦可延緩肌肉量的流失。故想藉由實證文獻探討阻力運動訓練措施改善老年肌少症臨床表徵之成效。希望找出合適的運動介入,以增進身體活動功能,來延緩老年肌少症進展,來提升生活品質。
With the rapidly growing aging population, the health issue of the elderly has been more emphasized. The sarcopenia caused by the loss of muscle mass due to ageing has gradually disabled the elderly. Several studies revealed that resistance exercise could slow the progress of sarcopenia, and increase the strength of muscle. Good nutritional intake could also slow the loss of muscle mass. We aim to find the relationship between effectiveness of resistance exercise and clinical manifestations of sarcopenia in the elderly by literature review. Hoping to find an appropriate exercise intervention to enhance the physical activity, to delay the progress of sarcopenia , and to improve the quality of life.
