Strength training and protein diet may reverse frailty in sarcopenic elderly women
NCT ID NCT07627919
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether combining supervised resistance exercise three times a week with a high-protein diet can reduce frailty and improve balance in obese women aged 60–70 who have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Sixty participants are randomly assigned to either the combined program or a control group receiving only dietary advice. The goal is to see if this lifestyle approach can help restore strength and mobility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
supervised resistance exercise training and a high-protein diet
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a simple, non-drug way to reduce frailty and improve quality of life in older women with sarcopenic obesity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The control group also receives a high-protein diet, making it harder to isolate the exercise effect.
