Study: NCT03649698

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Home-based training program
Description: Exercise intervention: During the intervention period, the participant will perform the optimized and personally adapted Otago Exercise Program (OEP). The participant is encouraged to perform the resistance exercises three times a week with a rest day in between. The participant is advised to perform the exercises in close temporal proximity to one of the moments of the intake of the protein supplement. The participant will also follow a walking plan in which he or she needs to walk 30 minutes twice a week. These 30 minutes can be broken down to three 10-minute walks throughout the day. During the follow-up period, participants may continue the OEP, but no personal encouragement will be given during this period.

Intervention type: DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: High-quality protein supplement
Description: The participant will receive an individually adapted protein supplement to achieve the recommend total (usual diet and supplements) daily intake of 1.5 g/protein/kg for frail elderly. This will be realized by adding an individualized amount (g) of protein powder during breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack between meals, or before breakfast or after dinner, based on the subjects' food intake assessed by a food diary. The participant will take the protein supplement from 5 days before the start of the intervention. The protein powder is commercially available and consists of 4.5g protein/5g powder. During the follow-up, no protein supplement is added.
