TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of nutritional supplementing in combination with physical activity in older adults undergoing exercise training and found that six months of physical activity resulted in improvements in body composition, subcutaneous fat, intermuscular fat, and strength measures.

Roger A. Fielding,Thomas G. Travison,Dylan R. Kirn,Afsaneh Koochek,Kieran F. Reid,A. von Berens,Hao Zhu,Sara C. Folta,Jennifer M. Sacheck,Miriam E. Nelson,Miriam E. Nelson,Christine K. Liu,Christine K. Liu,Anna Cristina Åberg,Margaretha Nydahl,Mats Lilja,Thomas Gustafsson,Tommy Cederholm +17 more
TL;DR: Results suggest improved gait speed following physical activity program with no further improvement with added nutritional supplementation, and similar effects in physical function were observed using the SPPB.
Nutritional supplementation with physical activity improves muscle composition in mobility‐limited older adults, the VIVE2 study: a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial
Davis A. Englund,Dylan R. Kirn,Afsaneh Koochek,Thomas G. Travison,Kieran F. Reid,Åsa von Berens,Hao Zhu,Mats Lilja,Thomas Gustafsson,Tommy Cederholm,Roger A. Fielding +10 more
TL;DR: The VIVE2 study as discussed by the authors showed that nutritional supplementation with physical activity improves muscle composition in mobility-limited older adults, using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Michael P. Corcoran,Michael P. Corcoran,Kenneth Chui,Daniel K. White,Kieran F. Reid,Dylan R. Kirn,Miriam E. Nelson,Jennifer M. Sacheck,Sara C. Folta,Roger A. Fielding +9 more
TL;DR: Despite engaging in physical activity levels far below current recommendations, the most active older adults in this study exhibited clinically significant differences in physical function relative to their less active peers.
