Effects of Resistance Training and Supplementation in Elderly: Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Variables

Aging causes losses in strength, lean mass, and cardiovascular health in the elderly due to metabolic changes and alterations in body composition. To investigate whether nutritional interventions and physical training can mitigate these effects, a randomized clinical trial will be conducted at the Evangelical University of Goiás with elderly individuals aged 60 to 85. Participants will be divided into four groups: control, protein supplementation, physical training, and a combination of both. The study will last for 12 months, with evaluations every four months, covering cardiovascular, pulmonary, immunological, renal, muscular, and hematological parameters. The analyses will seek statistical significance, and it is expected that the interventions will significantly improve the participants\' health.
