Forest-based exercise intervention with sensory activities studied for effects on sarcopenia in older women
This study protocol describes an 8-week forest-based intervention combining exercise (trail walking, resistance training, stretching) with sensory activities (aromatherapy, deep breathing) delivered twice weekly in 180-minute sessions at a forest healing facility. The study aims to measure effects on muscle strength, physical performance, and psychological well-being in older women with sarcopenia, with assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up. No results are reported.
