Elderly is associated with progressive decline changes and unavoidable processes characterized by functional, biochemical, and structure in the human body such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, sarcopenia, and decreased lung function in the elderly. A previous study found physical activity or regular exercise is well-recognized as an important strategy for preventing the risk of age-associated diseases. However, most of the elderly or aging populations may not achieve exercise targets due to muscul
