Aquatic resistance training in older adults with sarcopenia: 6-week randomized controlled trial
This randomized controlled trial evaluated a 6-week supervised pool-based exercise program in adults aged 65 and older with sarcopenia, identified by ultrasound thigh muscle thickness. The study measured muscle strength, muscle morphology, physical performance, mood, and quality of life at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 1-month follow-up.
