Influences of Resistance Training on Physical Function in Older, Obese Men and Women With Sarcopenia

Conclusions: The participants of both groups improved their physical performance in several parameters after training. The results also showed that older, obese adults with sarcopenia benefitted from resistance training. The increase in muscle function can support them having a life with functional independence, and this can help reduce the risk of disability and falls.
