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 .
Protein-enriched diet, with the use of lean red meat, combined with progressive resistance training enhances lean tissue mass and muscle strength and reduces circulating IL-6 concentrations in elderly women: a cluster randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Physical inactivity , inadequate dietary protein , and low- grade systemic inflammation contribute to age-related muscle loss , impaired function , and disability . OBJECTIVE We assessed the effects of progressive resistance training ( PRT ) combined with a protein-enriched diet facilitated through lean red meat on lean tissue mass ( LTM ) , muscle size , strength and function , circulating inflammatory markers , blood pressure , and lipids in elderly women . DESIGN In a 4-mo cluster r and omized controlled trial , 100 women aged 60 - 90 y who were residing in 15 retirement villages were allocated to receive PRT with lean red meat ( ∼160 g cooked ) to be consumed 6 d/wk [ resistance training plus lean red meat ( RT+Meat ) group ; n = 53 ] or control PRT [ 1 serving pasta or rice/d ; control resistance training ( CRT ) group ; n = 47 ) ] . All women undertook PRT 2 times/wk and received 1000 IU vitamin D3/d . RESULTS The mean ( ± SD ) protein intake was greater in the RT+Meat group than in the CRT group throughout the study ( 1.3 ± 0.3 compared with 1.1 ± 0.3 g · kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹ , respectively ; P < 0.05 ) . The RT+Meat group experienced greater gains in total body LTM ( 0.45 kg ; 95 % CI : 0.07 , 0.84 kg ) , leg LTM ( 0.22 kg ; 95 % CI : 0.02 , 0.42 kg ) , and muscle strength ( 18 % ; 95 % CI : 0.03 , 0.34 ) than did the CRT group ( all P < 0.05 ) . The RT+Meat group also experienced a 10 % greater increase in serum insulin-like growth factor I ( P < 0.05 ) and a 16 % greater reduction in the proinflammatory marker interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) ( P < 0.05 ) after 4 mo . There were no between-group differences for the change in blood lipids or blood pressure . CONCLUSION A protein-enriched diet equivalent to ∼1.3 g · kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹ achieved through lean red meat is safe and effective for enhancing the effects of PRT on LTM and muscle strength and reducing circulating IL-6 concentrations in elderly women . This trial was registered at the Australian Clinical Trials Registry as ACTRN12609000223235
