Exercise has been proposed as a key strategy to mitigate sarcopenia; however, its effectiveness in this population remains inconclusive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To systematically evaluate the effects of different exercise modalities on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in postmenopausal women with sarcopenia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic search was conducted across six electronic databases from inception to April 1, 2025.

The pooled analysis revealed that exercise interventions significantly improved skeletal muscle mass index. Additionally, significant improvements were found in muscle strength, including grip strength and knee extension strength. Physical function also improved, as evidenced by improvements in gait speed, the Timed Up and Go test, and single-leg stance. No significant differences were observed for body mass index (BMI) between intervention and control groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Exercise interventions were associated with improvements in muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in postmenopausal women with sarcopenia.
