Abstract
Adapted physical activity (APA) is an important means of preventing sarcopenia. Our aim was to evaluate the impact on functional performance of a multi-component program entitled "circuit gym", including the use of muscle-strengthening machines specially designed for seniors. This was a single-center interventional study combining endurance, machine resistance and balance exercises, lasting three months. We included 95 patients (mean age 82.5 years, 59% women). A median increase of two points in the Short Physical Performance Battery was observed at the end of the program (p<0.0001), as well as a significant improvement in walking speed, chair raising and Timed Up and Go. This study demonstrated a functional improvement in elderly sarcopenic individuals at three months associated with multicomponent adapted physical activity.
