THE BENEFIT OF WEIGHT TRAINING FOR THE ELDERLY IS THE PREVENTION OF SARCOPENIA
Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of strength and muscle mass in the human body, a skeletal muscle condition that compromises quality of life, physical performance, and mobility. It is a notable condition, especially in older people, but it is not a strict rule, as there are records of cases of sarcopenia in young individuals who also have other pathological factors, such as obesity, cancer, or degenerative diseases.
