The loss of muscle mass and strength in elderly population (especially after the age of 65-70) represents a public health problem. Due to the high prevalence of frailty in older adults, cardiovascular or low-intensity exercise is implemented as first choice option. Although beneficial these training schemes are not as effective as strength-based resistance training for increasing muscle strength and hypertrophy. In fact, when performed progressively and under professional supervision, strength-based training has been proposed as an important and valid methodology to reduce sarcopenia-related problems. In this mini-review, we not only summarize the benefits of weight resistance training but also highlight practical recommendations and other non-conventional methods (e.g., suspension training) as part of an integral anti-sarcopenia strategy. Future directions including cluster set configurations and high-speed resistance training are also outlined.
老年人群（尤其是65 - 70岁之后）肌肉质量和力量的丧失是一个公共卫生问题。由于老年人衰弱的高患病率，心血管运动或低强度运动被作为首选方案。尽管这些训练方案有益，但对于增加肌肉力量和肥大而言，它们不如基于力量的抗阻训练有效。事实上，当逐步进行并在专业监督下进行时，基于力量的训练已被提议作为减少与肌肉减少症相关问题的一种重要且有效的方法。在本综述中，我们不仅总结了抗阻训练的益处，还强调了实用建议以及作为整体抗肌肉减少症策略一部分的其他非传统方法（如悬吊训练）。还概述了包括成组训练配置和高速抗阻训练在内的未来方向。
