Sarcopenia describes the progressive decline of muscle mass and strength with advancing age and is associated with increased frailty and morbidity, and evidence suggests it develops earlier in women compared to men. The earlier development of sarcopenia in women appears to coincide with the menopause and an increase in body fat, but the exact reason why this happens is unclear and we do not currently have an effective treatment. Exercise is known to increase muscle mass, but aged muscle shows a lower response to these stimuli leading to muscle loss over time. In this study we will examine the effect of menopausal status and exercise on muscle mass, strength, and fat mass.
