Abstract:

Sarcopenia is closely related to frailty, fall and decline of body function in the elderly. The main factors of sarcopenia are aging, long-term immobilization and lack of movement. Exercise, especially resistance training, is an important rehabilitation method for the prevention of sarcopenia. Resistance exercise promotes muscle growth and prevents muscle quality decline through mTOR pathway. Malnutrition is another important cause of sarcopenia, and trace elements are important nutritional factors. Recent studies have found that magnesium in trace elements is closely related to muscle function. Supplementation of magnesium can help maintain muscle strength and quality, enhance exercise performance and prevent sarcopenia in the elderly. Therefore, exercise combined with magnesium supplementation is expected to become a new rehabilitation strategy for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia.

Key words: Resistance exercises, Magnesium, Sarcopenia, Exercise rehabilitation
