The best resistance training exercises for sarcopenia in older adults include push-ups, heel raises, butterfly wings, and high knees. These exercises can help increase muscle strength and mass when performed consistently.
Walking can help maintain muscle strength in older adults with sarcopenia, but resistance training is more effective for building and preserving muscle mass and strength. Regular walking may improve mobility and overall fitness, but it's not enough to fully counteract age-related muscle loss.
Suggest you to do first exercises under expert supervision, later it can done on his own.
