Multidisciplinary Research Into the Effects of Resistance Exercise and Whey Protein Supplementation in Healthy Older Men
Effects of 12 Weeks Resistance Exercise and Whey Protein Supplementation on Energy Metabolism, Appetite, Body Composition and Biomarkers Related to Sarcopenia and Metabolic Health
The aim of this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel groups trial is to investigate the effects of 12 weeks resistance exercise and whey protein supplementation on energy metabolism, markers of appetite, inflammation and hormonal response and body composition and strength and functional performance.
Generally healthy, retired men aged 60-80 years will be recruited (n = 52 in total, n = 13 per group). Participants will be randomised to either: a) control group, b) whey protein supplement group, c) resistance exercise + control group or d) resistance exercise + whey protein supplementation group.
