Distinct exercise modalities on GUT microbiome in sarcopenic older adults: study protocol of a pilot randomized controlled trial by Ana Sofia Merelim, Rodrigo Zacca, Rodrigo Zacca, Daniel Moreira-Gonçalves, Daniel Moreira-Gonçalves, Paulo P. Costa, Paulo P. Costa, Paulo P. Costa, Liliana C. Baptista, Liliana C. Baptista, Liliana C. Baptista

“…To date, no study specifically analyzed the optimal type of exercise modality in older adults with sarcopenia considering the impact of GM composition in skeletal muscle mass and function. Therefore, the DEMGUTS study intents to explore the impact of three different exercise regimens on GM composition and gut-derived metabolites in older adults with sarcopenia.MethodsThis pilot single center three-arm parallel open-label randomized control trial (RCT) will randomly assign eligible participants to: (i) moderate aerobic exercise (AER); (ii) resistance exercise (RES); or (iii) concurrent exercise training (RES + AER). …”
