Summary

This study looked at whether a 12-week program of resistance exercises, with or without a protein drink, could improve muscle strength and nutrition in older adults (70+) who receive home care and are at risk of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). 46 participants took part. The goal was to see if these simple interventions could help maintain independence and health.
