Results indicate that physical exercise has a positive impact on muscle mass and muscle function in subjects aged 65 years and older .
Conclusion Physical exercise has a positive impact on muscle mass and muscle function in healthy subjects aged 60 years and older .
The biggest effect of exercise intervention , of any type , has been seen on physical performance ( gait speed , chair rising test , balance , SPPB test , etc . )
.
We observed huge variations in regard to the dietary supplementation protocol s. Based on the included studies , mainly performed on well-nourished subjects , the interactive effect of dietary supplementation on muscle function appears limited
Summary This systematic review summarizes the effect of combined exercise and nutrition intervention on muscle mass and muscle function .
However , any interactive effect of dietary supplementation appears to be limited .
Introduction In 2013 , Denison et al. conducted a systematic review including 17 r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) to explore the effect of combined exercise and nutrition intervention to improve muscle mass , muscle strength , or physical performance in older people .
They concluded that further studies were needed to provide evidence upon which public health and clinical recommendations could be based .
The purpose of the present work was to up date the prior systematic review and include studies published up to October 2015 .
Effects of exercise and tea catechins on muscle mass, strength and walking ability in community-dwelling elderly Japanese sarcopenic women: a randomized controlled trial.
AIM To investigate the effects of exercise and /or tea catechin supplementation on muscle mass , strength and walking ability in elderly Japanese women with sarcopenia . METHODS A total of 128 women aged over 75 years were defined as sarcopenic and r and omly assigned into four groups : exercise and tea catechin supplementation ( n = 32 ) , exercise ( n = 32 ) , tea catechin supplementation ( n = 32 ) or health education ( n = 32 ) . The exercise group attended a 60-min comprehensive training program twice a week and the tea catechin supplementation group ingested 350 mL of a tea beverage fortified with catechin daily for 3 months . Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis . Interview data and functional fitness measurements , such as muscle strength , balance and walking ability , were collected at baseline and after the 3-month intervention . RESULTS There were significant group × time interactions observed in timed up & go ( P < 0.001 ) , usual walking speed ( P = 0.007 ) and maximum walking speed ( P < 0.001 ) . The exercise + catechin group showed a significant effect ( odds ratio 3.61 , 95 % confidence interval 1.05 - 13.66 ) for changes in the combined variables of leg muscle mass and usual walking speed compared with the health education group . CONCLUSIONS The combination of exercise and tea catechin supplementation had a beneficial effect on physical function measured by walking ability and muscle mass
