Sarcopenia is one of the main problems in the elderly population. The concept of disease has evolved, as have its treatment strategies. Among these is high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This approach has been little studied in older adults with sarcopenia, especially in institutionalized older adults in nursing homes. So this will be the objective of the study. A randomised clinical trial is being conducted to analyse how these diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia evolve after the application of HIIT compared to a control group.

| High-intensity interval strength training: therapeutic exercise programme. | Other | A 12-week high-intensity interval strenght training (HIITs) programme is developed with basic exercises adapted to the living environment of older people. Progress in the exercises over the twelve weeks is measured using the maximum weight that can be lifted in one repetition (1-RM), maximum heart rate (MHR) and the Borg scale. |
