5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Sarcopenia is the major health concern and common consequence of COVID-19 in the ageing population. The objective of this study is to find and compare low and high-intensity aerobic training protocols on clinical and psychological effects in community-dwelling older men with post-COVID 19 Sarcopenia.

Intervention Description
A low-intensity aerobic training group started with 15 minutes of warm-up, which includes static stretching of the upper and lower limb muscles. then participants were instructed to do 30 minutes of low-intensity aerobic training exercises, which include 20 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes of cycle ergometer, followed by 10 minutes of cool down.
- In high-intensity training (HAT) the same protocol has been followed, but the intensity of exercises was fixed between 60% to 80 % of maximum heart rate. The strength training includes major group muscles such as shoulder flexors, extensors, and abductors, elbow flexors and extensors, hip flexors& extensors, knee flexors&extensors, abdominal and back muscles also were trained. Each group of muscles was trained for 10 repetitions for 3 sets with a rest period of 5 minutes.
