Protein and Resistance Exercise to Stop Sarcopenic Obesity Now
Effects of Dietary Protein Intake and Resistance Training on Retention of Fat Free Mass During Weight Loss in Adults Over 50 With Obesity
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to examine the separate and combined effects of a high-protein (HP) diet and resistance training (RT) on body composition and potential biological moderators of body weight in women and men \>50y. All participants will receive dietary physical activity guidance through our group-based weight loss program, State of Slim (SOS). The SOS program will be delivered via the Zoom videoconferencing platform. These participants will be randomized to receive either a counseling-based HP diet plan or RT plan. Body composition assessments at 8 wk will identify responders and non-responders; the latter will be re-randomized to "augment" (HP: add protein supplements; RT: supervise RT) or "combine" (HP with protein supplements + supervised RT).
