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 .
Efficacy of whey protein supplementation on resistance exercise-induced changes in lean mass, muscle strength, and physical function in mobility-limited older adults.
BACKGROUND Whey protein supplementation may augment resistance exercise-induced increases in muscle strength and mass . Further studies are required to determine whether this effect extends to mobility-limited older adults . The objectives of the study were to compare the effects of whey protein concentrate ( WPC ) supplementation to an isocaloric control on changes in whole-body lean mass , mid-thigh muscle cross-sectional area , muscle strength , and stair-climbing performance in older mobility-limited adults in response to 6 months of resistance training ( RT ) . METHODS Eighty mobility-limited adults aged 70 - 85 years were r and omized to receive WPC ( 40g/day ) or an isocaloric control for 6 months . All participants also completed a progressive high-intensity RT intervention . Sample sizes were calculated based on the primary outcome of change in whole-body lean mass to give 80 % power for a 0.05-level , two-sided test . RESULTS Lean mass increased 1.3 % and 0.6 % in the WPC and control groups , respectively . Muscle cross-sectional area was increased 4.6 % and 2.9 % in the WPC and control groups , respectively , and muscle strength increased 16%-50 % in WPC and control groups . Stair-climbing performance also improved in both groups . However , there were no statistically significant differences in the change in any of these variables between groups . CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that WPC supplementation at this dose does not offer additional benefit to the effects of RT in mobility-limited older adults
