Sarcopenia

When strength declines with age

Sarcopenia – what helps against muscle loss?

Starting at age 40, we lose 3–8% of our muscle mass each year without training – medically known as sarcopenia. Millions are affected worldwide, and the trend is rising. The consequences: reduced strength, more falls, limitations, and loss of independence. The cause is not “aging” itself, but muscle loss.

Targeted strength training is the most effective countermeasure. Just two sessions per week can stop the decline, restore strength, and preserve independence – for life.

Kieser – your solution to muscle loss

Studies show: 70-year-olds who train regularly can achieve muscle values comparable to those of untrained 40-year-olds – in strength, speed, and muscle fiber quality.

With targeted strength training, you don’t just slow down the aging process – you can actively counteract it. Research confirms: Even at an advanced age, strength, stability, and mobility can be significantly improved – safely, effectively, and tailored to your individual needs.

THE PROBLEM

When muscle loss overtakes muscle gain

Each year without targeted muscle training, your body loses up to 3% of its muscle mass. The effects are noticeable in everyday life: familiar movements become more difficult, the risk of falling increases, and physical independence declines. As we age, muscle building slows down while natural muscle loss continues. With targeted strength training and a protein-rich diet, you can counteract this process – and help your body build new muscle strength.
Studies show: After just six months of targeted training, strength, mobility, and quality of life improve significantly – even in old age. Often, the causes of muscle loss are lack of stimulation, hormonal changes, and poor nutrition. Take action now and gain more strength for life.

Just 2×30 minutes per week are enough to break the cycle of muscle weakness, insecurity, and dependence. Strengthen your muscles in a targeted way – and regain independence, stability, and joy in life.

EVIDENCE

Strengthen your muscles with targeted strength training

Recent studies show: Targeted strength training works – even in old age. People aged 65 to 75, as well as those over 85, were able to significantly increase their muscle mass, strength, and mobility through regular strength training – with up to 46% more strength and noticeably improved physical performance.

Strength training works – especially in later life. It’s never too late to become strong. Start now with a personalized training program at Kieser – for more strength, stability, and quality of life.

Kieser in numbers

What we know from research about the effects of strength training on muscle mass:

-50
Percent

Less muscle aging: After just four months of strength training, untrained 65-year-olds reach the same muscle fiber size as 30-year-olds – especially in the thigh.

1
Percent

More lean mass and –1.5 kg less fat: Your body composition visibly improves – without a specific diet change. 

49
Percent

More maximum strength: Strength training not only builds muscle mass but also improves neural activation. 

Sarcopenia: What causes age-related muscle loss?

To date, the exact causes of age-related muscle loss are not fully understood. Several factors likely contribute. These include: 

Reduced muscle synthesis rate
Your muscle tissue grows and regenerates less efficiently – even with regular training and sufficient protein intake.
Decline in neural function
Your nervous system's performance decreases, impairing muscle control and reducing muscle strength.
Hormonal deficiencies
When hormone levels drop, muscle growth slows and recovery becomes less effective.
Chronic inflammation and stress
These can damage your cells and hinder regeneration. Especially in old age, they accelerate muscle loss and reduce performance.
