Active clinical trials for "Sarcopenia"

This study will evaluate the adaptations in skeletal muscle that occur in response to 10 weeks of weight training with or without peanut protein supplementation in older adult men and women.

This study tests the effectiveness of using a new mobile application (Bingocize®) to improve older adults' (a) adherence to an engaging exercise program, and (b) aspects of functional performance, health knowledge, dietary habits, and cognition.

Resistance training done at home and protein supplementation may be the most effective and easiest to implement interventions to reverse frailty and build resilience. However, it is not common practice to offer and support such interventions in primary care. This study provides an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of an optimised intervention with community-dwelling adults aged 65 and over, whose baseline clinical frailty score is not worse than mild (i.e. 5 or less), evaluate improvements in health outcomes and demonstrate how the intervention may be incorporated efficiently in clinical practice. The results are intended to encourage mainstream adoption of practical interventions to reverse clinical frailty and build resilience in primary care. An intervention with ten recommended resistance exercises and dietary guidance on protein consumption has been derived from findings of our systematic review and meta-analysis and optimised through a patient and public involvement (PPI) process and feasibility study.

The present project is to identify the effect of black soy beans Koji product supplementation on nutrients absorption and anti-aging effect in elderly.

The purpose of the study is to investigate if an increased protein intake, in the form of a protein-enriched, milk-based supplement, can enhance the beneficial effect of resistance training, offered during hospitalization and 12 weeks post discharge, in older patients. This will in part be evaluated from measures of muscle strength, muscle mass and physical functioning. Also, the study population's acceptance of the intervention product will be assessed along with measures related to 'cost-effectiveness'. A sub-study will be performed in a sub-group (n=30) to investigate if bio-impedance analysis (BIA) correlates with Dual-Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at single time points, and to see if it is possible to track changes in lean body mass. In addition, the reliability of the bio-impedance analyzer will be evaluated. Also, the prevalence and classification of sarcopenia will be assessed at baseline, and correlations to nutritional status will be investigated (n=120).

This study is to assess the impact on the prevention of sarcopenia after taking cetylpyridinium chloride targeting the patients of pre-sarcopenia or sarcopenia over the age of 60

A research study regarding the body's response to several weeks of training using short sprints and pomegranate juice supplementation

In the present study, the effect of a bolus of intrinsically labeled milk directly after one-legged NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) will be studied under two conditions: during the day and prior to sleep

This study is to assess the impact on the prevention of sarcopenia after taking cetylpyridinium chloride targeting the patients of presarcopenia over the age of 60.

The purpose of this study is to determine the benefits of negative work progressive resistance exercise (PRE) for the conservative management of sarcopenia in older male Veterans at the DC VAMC. Efficacy will be assessed by examining post-exercise changes in metabolic and inflammatory markers, muscle morphology, strength, and functional status.
