Effects of a One-Year Multicomponent Exercise Program on Community-Dwelling Older Adults at Risk of Sarcopenic Obesity.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The present study was conducted to examine the effects of a one-year multicomponent exercise training (MCET) program on the physical function and cardiovascular risk factors of community-dwelling older adults at risk of sarcopenic obesity. Methods: Data of 78 Brazilian community-dwelling older adults at risk of sarcopenic obesity, identified as the simultaneous presence of probable sarcopenia and overweight, were examined. The MCET program was performed twice a week over one year. Physical performance evaluations included (i) a timed "up-and-go" (TUG), (ii) one-leg stand, (iii) walking speed (WS) at normal pace and fast pace, (iv) a 5-time sit-to-stand (5STS) test, and (v) isometric handgrip strength (IHG). Cardiovascular risk factors involved blood pressure (BP)
