Small-sided Ball Game Training and Protein Intake in Older Adults

October 25, 2017 updated by: Jacob Vorup, University of Copenhagen

Effect of Small-sided Team Sport Training and Protein Intake on Muscle Mass, Physical Function and Markers of Health in Older Untrained Adults

The effect of small-sided team sport training and protein intake on muscle mass, physical function, and adaptations important for health in untrained older adults was examined. Forty-eight untrained older (72±6 years) men and women were divided into either a team sport group ingesting a drink high in protein (18 g) immediately and 3 h after each training session (TS-HP, n=13), a team sport group ingesting an isocaloric drink with low protein content (3 g; TS-LP, n=18), and a control group continuing their normal activities (CON, n=17).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Team sport and high protein group
This group participated in team sport based small-sided ball games with supplementation of a drink with a high content of protein after the training sessions
Other: Small-sided ball game training with high protein intake
In the present study, small-sided ball game training consists of repeated intervals of floorball and cone ball training on small areas and 3-4 participants on each team. The supplementation high in protein consists of 18 g protein consumed immediately after and 3 h post exercise
Experimental: Team sport and low protein group
This group participated in team sport based small-sided ball games with supplementation of a drink low in protein content after the training sessions
Other: Small-sided ball game training with low protein intake
n the present study, small-sided ball game training consists of repeated intervals of floorball and cone ball training on small areas and 3-4 participants on each team. The supplementation low in protein consists of 3 g protein consumed immediately after and 3 h post exercise.
No Intervention: Control group
This group continued their usual life style without intervention
