Introduction:

The aging of the human being is a biological process in which the body systems undergo nu

merous changes, and it is in this same context that the locomotor system undergoes the decline of its func

tionality and equilibrium (Pedrinelli et al., (2009)). Another factor related to aging sarcopenia is a process of

loss of musculoskeletal structures of slow and generalized progression with multifactorial etiology due to the

biological aging of the body, which may affect even the active individuals (Silva et al., 2006) and may occur in

both sexes, but in the more advanced stages there is predominance in females (Silva et al., 2006).

Results:

Endurance exercises associated with aerobic exercise are ways of intervening and treating the process

of muscle mass loss in the elderly, and its long-term practice benefits the maintenance of the gains obtained

(Pedrinelli et al., 2009). Fidelis et al., 2013 also testifies to the importance of practicing physical exercises in

the elderly to improve strength, flexibility and mobility. Martinez et al., 2014 states that the strength exercises

associated with aerobic are effective in the treatment of sarcopenia, but also that adequate nutrition is of great

importance for the therapeutic effects.

Conclusion:

With these considerations, we can suppose that the resistance to physical exercise associated with

aerobic activity and better nutrition, improve the functional capacity in individuals suffering from the process

of loss of muscle mass due to sarcopenia, but its prescription should be individually based in the physical ca

pacity and need of each elderly person.
