To investigate and compare between the effectiveness of whole body vibration and aerobic training exercises in management of sarcopenia, muscle mass, physical performance and muscle strength in elderly.
Participants will be assigned randomly into two groups of equal number (study group A and study group B ) the randomization will be performed by computerized randomization. Assessors will be blinded to the groups of the subjects.
c- Subject selection 84 patients with sarcopenia will participate in this study and will be divided randomly into three equal groups with 28 participants in each group.
d- Groups: Group A (Study group): Will receive whole body vibration exercises with conventional progressive resistance exercises and diet modification life style Group B (Study group): Will receive aerobic exercises training with conventional progressive resistance exercises and diet modification life style.
Group C (Control Group): will receive conventional progressive resistance exercises and diet modification life style.
During the study, the participants will receive study information form, instructions and signed the consent form.

| Whole-body vibration | Device | GROUP A : will receive whole body vibration exercises combined with resistance exercises |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle Mass | Outcome measures included: • Skeletal muscle mass (SMM): will be measured by Bioimpedance analysis using body composition analyzer (InBody Dial H 20b). | Muscle mass will be investigated at baseline and after the treatment period of 12 weeks. |
| muscle strength | will be measured by using calibrated handheld dynamometer (CAMRY EH101). | Muscle strength will be investigated at baseline and after the treatment period of 12 weeks. |
| timed Up and Go Test (TUG) | The TUG test evaluates physical function, individuals will be asked to rise from a standard chair, walk to a marker 3 m away from the chair, turn around, walk back, and sit down again. | Timed Up and Go Test will be investigated at baseline and after the treatment period of 12 weeks. |
| Gait Speed test | The 4-m usual walking speed test, which measures speed either manually ,with a stopwatch or instrumentally, with an electronic device, to measure gait timing. | Gait speed test will be investigated at baseline and after the treatment period of 12 weeks. |
| 400 m Walking Test | The 400-meters walk test evaluates a person's stamina and ability to walk. Participants in this test are required to run 20 laps of 20 meters, each lap as quickly as they can, and are permitted up to two rest breaks throughout the test. | 400 m Walking Test will be investigated at baseline and after the treatment period of 12 weeks. |
| Six minute walk test (6MWT) | 6MWT is used to measure a patient's exercise tolerance. Also it is used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. Patient is asked to walk at his normal pace for six minutes. |

.5 - inability to walk without assistance. 6-neurological diseases or acute conditions that would interfere with testing and training.
7-patients with improper conscious and cognition that will be detected by using Mini Mental State Examination(scores < 21).
8- patients who cannot exercise at all due to conditions like deep vein thrombosis or blood clotting issues.
9- patients with severe illnesses that influence assessments and interventions, such as those with disabilities or musculoskeletal conditions (such as fracture, dislocation, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis).
10- People with major spinal conditions or surgical histories, such as cauda equina syndrome, tumor, vertebral fracture, inflammatory joint disease, spondylolisthesis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Every participant will get a primary checkup to get a full picture of their health, find out if there are any restrictions, and decide whether they can take part in the study.
