1 Effects of COVID-19 Induced Deconditioning After Long-term High Intensity Resistance Exercise in Older Men With Osteosarcopenia A Randomized Controlled Trial

Osteosarcopenia designates the simultaneous presence of sarcopenia and osteopenia; both chronic conditions of advanced age. Dynamic-resistance exercise (DRT) might be the most powerful agent to fight osteosarcopenia. Indeed, in the present FrOST study, we clearly determine the positive effect of slightly adapted 18 month high-intensity (HIT)-DRT on bone mineral density (BMD), sarcopenia and other health related parameters in osteosarcopenic men. However, after a short training break, COVID-19 induced lock down prevented a re-start of the HIT resistance exercise training in the FrOST cohort. The aim of the present observational study is thus to determine the effects of 6 months of deconditioning on health related parameters under special regard of osteosarcopenia in this cohort of older men with osteosarcopenia.
