Sarcopenia: implications of physical exercise in its pathophysiology, prevention and treatment

Abstract

[ES]: Se conoce como sarcopenia al progresivo deterioro muscular que se produce con el paso de los años y que se caracteriza por una pérdida progresiva de fuerza y masa musculares, aumento de la grasa muscular y el deterioro progresivo de la capacidad funcional. Este proceso tiene importantes repercusiones en la calidad de vida de las personas mayores, ya que es causa frecuente de discapacidad, dependencia y aumento de la morbimortalidad. En la presente revisión bibliográfica del tema, analizamos los diferentes factores etiológicos y las estrategias de prevención y tratamiento de la sarcopenia, entre las que el ejercicio, y en particular el entrenamiento de fuerza, junto con una alimentación adecuada, desempeñan un papel primordial.

[EN]: Sarcopenia is known as a progressive muscle wasting produced as years accumulate and characterized by a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, increase of muscle fat and progressive decline of functional capacity. This process produces important and severe effects on quality of life in elderly people since sarcopenia is the most frequent cause of discapacity, dependency and increase or morbi-mortality. In the present review we analyze the different etiological factors and the prevention and treatment strategies against sarcopenia. One of the main strategies is the strength training that, added to an adequate nutrition, plays a primordial role in prevention and progression of sarcopenia.
