The decline in muscle strength and functional capacity in older adults can lead to disability and reduced quality of life. The current healthcare system may not provide adequate support for older adults with dynapenia. There is a need for effective exercise programs that can be implemented in various settings.

Further research is needed to investigate the optimal resistance training protocols for older adults with dynapenia. Studies should examine the effects of combining resistance exercise with nutritional supplementation on muscle strength and functional outcomes. Longitudinal studies can investigate the long-term effects of resistance training on dynapenia and functional capacity in older adults.
