Abstract
A total of 37 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were analyzed, indicating that 79% showed increased muscle mass from exercise in individuals aged 65 and older.
- Physical exercise positively impacts muscle mass in 79% of studies involving older adults.
- Muscle strength increased in 82.8% of studies following exercise interventions.
- Only a small number of studies (23.5%) indicated additional benefits of dietary supplementation on muscle mass.
- Increased physical performance was observed in 92.8% of studies after exercise intervention, with limited interaction from nutrition supplementation.
- The variability in dietary supplementation protocols was significant across the included studies, suggesting no consistent effect on muscle function.
