Abstract Background: Osteosarcopenia is defined as the concomitant occurrence of sarcopenia and osteopenia or osteoporosis. Older adults with this syndrome have greater fragility and chances of mortality compared to those without these conditions. Exercise has been recommended as a treatment for osteosarcopenia based on interventions with sarcopenic and osteoporotic individuals separately. However, there is no evidence that physical exercise can really be an effective treatment for osteosarcopenia. Our objective is to identify whether physical exercise can improve the osteosarcopenia in older adults and lead to good health outcomes. Methods: We will perform a systematic review on the follow databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus. The criterion of inclusion will be clinical trial studies in which the interventions were physical exercises in older adults diagnosed with osteosarcopenia. To assess the risk of bias, the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) and the Black and Downs tools will be used. For each search result, the quality of the evidence will ultimately receive one of four grades: high quality, moderate quality, low quality, or very low quality. Discussion: Through this systematic review protocol, an article on physical exercise recommendations for osteosarcopenia in older adults will be prepared. The results of this study may lead to recommendations for physical exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment or complementary therapy for the prevention of osteosarcopenia.Systematic review registration: Ongoing on Prospero.Ethics and dissemination: Protocol written according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).
