Sarcopenia, the decline of muscle mass, is related with aging and has been a constantly a global issue for ageing population. Sarcopenia was considered as an age-related physiological decrease in muscle with less or no prominence of its effect on physical strength and functional activity. The motive of this short narrative literature review is to check evidence available on the sarcopenia prevalence of sarcopenia in India and the efficacy of aerobic and resisted exercises on sarcopenic elderly population. PICO approach was used for formatting this review article. Various databases were investigated for evidence from year 2010 – 2020. Furthermore, combinations of certain keywords are used to explore the related studies. The reviews found the effectiveness of the aerobic and the resistance exercise in the sarcopenic elderly population and thus it helps to maintain healthy lifestyle and improves ADL functioning. As prevalence of sarcopenia in Indian population became evident, the effectiveness of management and treatment done by the physiotherapist was also stressed. However, the validity of these results is compromised by the small number and variable quality of studies, making it difficult to determine clinical efficacy of exercises within the reviewed sample.
