Obesity, Physical Function, and Training Success in Community-Dwelling Nonsarcopenic Old Adults.

Conclusion: Nonsarcopenic obese community-dwelling old adults have lower physical function than their normal weight counterparts. This difference is not explained by lower LTPA. A 12-week resistance exercise program improves body composition and physical function in normal weight, overweight, and obese old adults; however, obese participants experience less favorable changes in body composition and physical function than normal weight individuals. This trial is registered with NCT01074879. PMID: 30906596 [PubMed]
