This is a randomized controlled trial, single-blind, repeated measures of parallel groups (elastic band group: EBG, n = 21 group-based dance: GBD, n = 19), and a quantitative methodology. In this pilot study, we compared the effectiveness of elastic band training regarding group-based dance on fat mass, fat-free mass, handgrip strength (HGS dominant and non-dominant hand), leg strength, timed up-and-go (TUG) and walking speed in older women with sarcopenia.
Sarcopenia is a syndrome associated with aging that causes progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and muscle function.
