Paper

Abstract

Aging and sarcopenia are associated with metabolic inflexibility. This study investigated the effects of resistance exercise (RE) and a high protein diet (PRO) on metabolic flexibility (the ability to adjust rates of substrate oxidation to changes in fuel availability) in older men.

Research summary

The paper claims that resistance exercise and a high protein diet improve metabolic flexibility in older men. This research addresses metabolic inflexibility, which is a significant aspect of aging and sarcopenia, thus contributing to our understanding of interventions that may enhance longevity and overall health in older populations.
