Just chiming in to reinforce Carmelians point that the sarcopoenia in particular is a highly likely aetiological predisposing factor for OP’s described experience (as noted, for a male >50yoa it’s pretty much a given), and strength/resistance training is the only realistic compensating strategy. You’re correct that they don’t achieve the same, and that both are required, and that something is better than nothing.
But its also true that the strength component seems to be more overlooked in the popular approaches to the vicissitudes of aging, so bears particular emphasis
