Exercise is the most effective way to manage sarcopenia symptoms, but it must be done with the right intensity, a well-structured muscle training plan, and proper warm-ups. Proper warm-ups ensure lessened risk of muscle inflammation. Simple warm-up exercises can help improve joint mobility, activate muscles, and even serve as a form of light resistance training.

People with sarcopenia experience muscle loss and reduced strength and are at a higher risk of osteoporosis. Bone metabolism in the human body involves three main types of cells: osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes.
