{"type":"trials","record":{"id":22193,"source_id":"clinicaltrials-gov","external_id":"NCT07821164","title":"Exercise Snacks for Muscle Strength in Older Adults With Possible Sarcopenia","brief_summary":"This study aims to investigate whether exercise snacks, a time-efficient approach involving short bouts of exercise performed throughout the day, can improve muscle strength in older adults with possible sarcopenia. Participants will be randomly assigned to an exercise snacks group, a home-based resistance training group, or a non-exercise control group. The intervention will last 8 weeks. Muscle strength and physical function will be assessed before and after the intervention.","overall_status":"Completed","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"Ziren Zhao","enrollment":60,"countries":["China"],"start_date":"2026-05-13","completion_date":"2026-07-25","last_update_date":"2026-09-15","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07821164","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
