ImpactModerate impact

The discussions suggest the study could influence future research and clinical practices, highlighting its relevance for aging populations and health professionals.

Abstract in brief

  • The CALM study investigates how protein supplementation and different intensities of strength training can help older adults over 65 maintain muscle mass and improve physical function, addressing challenges posed by aging-related muscle loss.
  • The study compares the effects of whey protein combined with either heavy resistance training or light load training over one year, focusing on outcomes like thigh muscle size, physical performance, muscle composition, and quality of life.
  • Researchers aim to determine whether lighter exercise loads combined with protein intake could be more sustainable and effective, considering factors like adherence, physical gains, gut health, and everyday habits in aging populations.
