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.
