For this reason, the physiotherapeutic approach through resistance exercise is a significant intervention proposal for the elderly population with Sarcopenia to provide greater independence in daily activities. This is documentary-type research that was carried out to analyze and relate the effects of resistance exercise in the physiotherapeutic approach to Sarcopenia and provide a source of updated academic information. The information gathered comes from reliable and scientific bibliographic sources, obtaining 100 articles, of which 31 were included following a methodological analysis and evaluation process. The results show characteristics of the study population and the positive effects of resistance exercise in Sarcopenia, such as improved strength and muscle mass, improved independence in activities of daily living, and improved quality of life in the older adult population. |
