Liao CD et al. • Nutrients (2024)
Our findings suggest whey protein yields the optimal supplements to counter sarcopenia in older individuals undergoing RT.
Li ML et al. • The journal of nutrition, health & aging (2024)
This review confirms that WP can improve various aspects of older adult with sarcopenia, thereby enhancing their overall physical condition.
Al-Rawhani AH et al. • Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland) (2024)
The present meta-analysis indicates that WPS, when combined with resistance training (RT), can enhance lower body strength but does not seem to have a significant beneficial effect on handgrip strength, physical performance, or body composition.
Vajdi M et al. • Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD (2023)
This meta-analysis demonstrated that WP intake significantly reduced SBP levels.
Chang MC et al. • Nutrients (2023)
In addition, combining a physical exercise program with whey protein, leucine, and vitamin D supplementation can improve muscle strength and function.
Nunes EA et al. • Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle (2022)
Protein supplementation combined with resistance exercise increases lean body mass, with older adults needing higher per-meal doses.
Morton RW et al. • British Journal of Sports Medicine (2018)
Protein supplementation significantly enhances changes in muscle strength and size during resistance training.
Pasiakos SM et al. • Sports Medicine (2015)
Whey protein supplementation during resistance training augments lean body mass.
Grgic J et al. • Nutrients (2023)
Whey protein during resistance training significantly increases handgrip strength and skeletal muscle mass in older adults with sarcopenia.
Nasimi N et al. • Advances in nutrition (Bethesda, Md.) (2023)
Standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated for LM, muscle strength, and physical function data.
Prokopidis K et al. • The British journal of nutrition (2023)
These data support that whey and soy protein supplementation elicit anti-inflammatory effects by reducing circulating IL-6 and TNF-α levels, respectively.
Zhou S et al. • Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland) (2024)
Our study supports a beneficial role of high-quality protein supplementation to reduce CVD risk factors.
Chiang SW et al. • Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.) (2022)
Postprandial glycemia was significantly lower at 60 minutes (weighted mean difference: -2.67 mmol/L; 95% confidence interval, -3.62 to -1.72 mmol/L) and 120 minutes (-1.59 mmol/L; -2.91 to -0.28 mm...
Jamshidi S et al. • Diabetes & metabolic syndrome (2022)
It can be concluded that whey supplementation had no favorable effects on inflammatory biomarkers including TNF- α and IL-6.
Vasconcelos QDJS et al. • Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme (2021)
Presented data support a need for future studies co-relating the use of different types of whey protein with and without exercise to better see the impact on human physical health.
A Castro LH et al. • Nutrients (2019)
Due to several and important limitations, more detailed analyses are required regarding FFM gain.
Jäger R et al. • Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2017)
For building muscle mass, an overall daily protein intake of 1.4-2.0 g/kg/day is sufficient for most exercising individuals.
Kuo YY et al. • Nutrients (2022)
Without RT, WP has no significant benefit on muscle strength or lean mass.
Davies RW et al. • Nutrients (2018)
Whilst the effects for WP were shown to be consistent over time, these results are limited to 13 RCTs, principally supporting the requirement for further comprehensive research in this area.
Roschel H et al. • Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland) (2021)
Neither protein (whey and soy), leucine, nor creatine supplementation enhanced resistance training-induced adaptations in pre-frail and frail elderly, regardless of sex.
