Targeting Sarcopenia and Frailty: Multicomponent Exercise With Focal Muscle Vibration

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of multicomponent exercises (aerobic exercises, strength exercises, and balance exercises), individualized with the application of a focal muscle vibration machine at the lower extremities, on parameters of sarcopenia (a muscle disease) in health-related physical fitness, physical performance, frailty levels, and cognitive function, falls, and hospitalizations in older adults. Focal muscle vibration is a type of therapeutic technique used with the application of six capsules placed on the lower extremities, three on each bed, each of which generates a tolerable vibration depending on the stimulation of the muscles. It is neither painful nor counterproductive to the muscles in the lower extremities. Multicomponent exercises refer to the application of exercises through three different modalities: aerobic exercises, strength exercises, and balance exercises. We alternate these three types of exercises to achieve millions of health benefits. The multi-component program will be individualized based on each individual's abilities to avoid risks and achieve maximum benefits.
