Dietary protein restriction increases energy expenditure and enhances insulin sensitivity in mice. However, the effects of a eucaloric protein-restricted diet healthy humans remain unexplored. Here, we show lean, men that meeting minimum requirements for 5 weeks necessitates an increase intake to uphold body weight, regardless whether proteins are replaced with fats or carbohydrates. Upon reverting customary higher following weeks, return baseline levels, thus preventing weight gain. We also...
Objectives Muscle function and size decline with age, but long-term effects of resistance training in older adults are largely unknown. Here, we explored the long-lasting (3 years) 1 year supervised heavy loads. Methods The LIve active Successful Ageing (LISA) study was a parallel group randomised controlled trial at university hospital Denmark. Older (n=451) retirement age were to (HRT), moderate-intensity (MIT) or non-exercising control (CON). Primary outcome measure leg extensor power....
Resistance training is an effective strategy to counteract the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength in elderly, but whether benefits differ between sexes unclear. A total 297 elderly men women were randomized 1 year heavy resistance (HRT) or control (CON). Changes function body composition compared groups. Improvements strength, fat, size observed, absolute improvements (23 Nm ± 2.3 vs 11 2.2, P < .01) visceral fat content (−215 g 50 −60 21, greater men. Also, relative decrease %...
Background: Physical and cognitive function declines with age, accelerating after the age of 60. Strength training over a few months improves physical function, but less is known about how long-term strength affects function. Therefore, we aimed to investigate effect 1 year two different intensities upon muscle mass, cognition in retirement-age individuals.Methods: In this randomized controlled trial (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02123641), participants were allocated either a) supervised, heavy...
