    Abstract: [Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing a muscle function-improving agent for suppressing or improving the decline of muscular functions due to aging. [Solution] Provided is a muscle function-improving agent for suppressing or improving the functional decline of skeletal muscle due to aging, the muscle function-improving agent containing, as an active ingredient, at least one peptide selected from among the following (1)-(3), or a salt thereof: (1) a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by SEC) ID NO: 1; (2) a peptide which is the fragment of human osteopontin, and in which the C-terminal amino acid sequence is the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1; and (3) a peptide which consists of an amino acid sequence obtained by substituting, adding, or deleting one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of the peptide in (1) or (2), and has the action of suppressing or ameliorating the functional decline of skeletal muscle due to aging.
