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 nutritional supplementation and resistance training on muscle strength in free living elders. Results of one year follow.
PURPOSE To assess the effects of a one year nutritional supplementation and resistance training program on muscle strength and walking capacity in the elderly . MATERIAL AND METHODS Elderly subjects from two outpatient clinics received a nutritional supplement , that provided 400 Kcal , 15 g/protein and 50 % of vitamin DRVs per day . Half the subjects receiving and not receiving the supplement were r and omly assigned to a resistance exercise training program with two sessions per week . Every six months , body composition using DEXA , limb muscle strength , maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures and walking capacity were assessed . RESULTS One hundred forty nine subjects were considered eligible and 101 ( 31 supplemented and trained , 28 supplemented , 16 trained and 26 without supplementation nor training ) completed the year of follow up . Overall compliance with the supplement was 48 22 % and trained subjects attended 56 21 % of programmed sessions . No changes in fat free mass were observed in any of the groups , but fat mass increased from 22.5 7.3 to 23.2 7.3 kg in all groups ( p < 0.001 ) . Upper and lower limb strength and walking capacity increased significantly in trained subjects whether supplemented or not . Maximal inspiratory pressure and right h and grip strength increased only in the supplemented and trained group . CONCLUSIONS Resistance training improved muscle strength and walking capacity
