摘要

Objectives:Studies show that regular exercise in combination with nutritional support can be effective in managing sarcopenia, which is age-related involuntary loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Qualitative investigations of participants’ experiences from interventions in this domain are scarce. In this study, we explored older persons’ experiences from an intervention designed to prevent sarcopenia, with the aim of capturing the participants’ thoughts and opinions.
