Increasing Muscle Capillarization to Enhance Responses to Strength Training in Sarcopenia

Baltimore VA Medical Center·interventional·Posted Jun 13, 2019·Updated Oct 29, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Aerobic exercise training and Strength training for Sarcopenia. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

Aging is associated with a loss of muscle mass, termed sarcopenia, that reduces mobility, decreases physical function and accelerates progression of other age-related disorders. This study is designed to determine whether increasing skeletal muscle capillarization through aerobic exercise will enhance muscular adaptations to strength training in older adults with sarcopenia.
