Strength training and high-protein diet for frail older women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining resistance exercises with a protein-rich diet can improve muscle strength and overall function in older women with weak muscles. You would attend supervised workouts and follow a specific eating plan for several weeks.

This study tests whether a program of high-intensity functional training can improve muscle strength, walking, and mood in older adults with sarcopenia and mild depression. It aims to help you feel stronger and better mentally.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This trial tests whether a type of strength training, called pre-conditioning functional resistance training, can help older adults who are already experiencing low muscle strength. The goal is to see if this exercise approach is safe and practical before starting a larger study.
This trial tests a multicomponent training program to improve muscle quality in women over 60. It aims to help maintain strength and function as you age.
This study tests whether a specially designed exercise program can help older adults who are frail or losing muscle strength feel stronger and more independent. The program is run by physical therapists at your usual health center.
