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 .
Dietary supplements and physical exercise affecting bone and body composition in frail elderly persons.
OBJECTIVES This study determined the effect of enriched foods and all-around physical exercise on bone and body composition in frail elderly persons . METHODS A 17-week r and omized , controlled intervention trial , following a 2 x 2 factorial design --(1 ) enriched foods , ( 2 ) exercise , ( 3 ) both , or ( 4 ) neither -- was performed in 143 frail elderly persons ( aged 78.6 + /- 5.6 years ) .  Foods were enriched with multiple micronutrients ; exercises focused on skill training , including strength , endurance , coordination , and flexibility . Main outcome parameters were bone and body composition . RESULTS Exercise preserved lean mass ( mean difference between exercisers and non-exercisers : 0.5 kg + /- 1.2 kg ; P < .02 ) . Groups receiving enriched food had slightly increased bone mineral density ( + 0.4 % ) , bone mass ( + 0.6 % ) , and bone calcium ( + 0.6 % ) compared with groups receiving non-enriched foods , in whom small decreases of 0.1 % , 0.2 % , and 0.4 % , respectively , were found . These groups differed in bone mineral density ( 0.006 + /- 0.020 g/cm2 ; P = .08 ) , total bone mass ( 19 + /- g ; P = .04 ) , and bone calcium ( 8 + /- 21 g ; P = .03 ) . CONCLUSIONS Foods containing a physiologic dose of micronutrients slightly increased bone density , mass , and calcium , whereas moderately intense exercise preserved lean body mass in frail elderly persons
