Study Goal

The researchers sought to determine whether resistance exercise combined with dairy supplementation could have an additive impact on fat mass and energy metabolism, particularly in older overweight sarcopenic men.

Results Summary

The dairy supplement group showed significant decreases in fat mass, while no changes were observed in metabolic parameters or other variables. The study concluded that dairy supplementation during resistance training may reduce fat mass without altering metabolic properties.

Population

Older overweight sarcopenic men (65 ± 5 years old).

Effective Dosage

375 ml (~280 calories) per shake, post-exercise.

Duration

4 months.

Interactions

None mentioned.

Abstract

The decrease in resting energy expenditure (REE) and fat oxidation with aging is associated with an increase in fat mass (FM), and both could be prevented by exercise such as resistance training. Dairy consumption has also been shown to promote FM loss in different subpopulations and to be positively associated with fat oxidation. Therefore, we sought to determine whether resistance exercise combined with dairy supplementation could have an additive impact on FM and energy metabolism, especially in individuals with a deficit in muscle mass. Twenty-six older overweight sarcopenic men (65 ± 5 years old) were recruited for the study. They participated in 4 months of resistance exercise and were randomized into three groups for postexercise shakes (control, dairy, and nondairy isocaloric and isoprotein supplement with 375 ml and ~280 calories per shake). Body composition was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry and REE by indirect calorimetry. Fasting glucose, insulin, leptin, inflammatory profile, and blood lipid profile were also measured. Significant decreases were observed with FM only in the dairy supplement group; no changes were observed for any other variables. To conclude, FM may decrease without changes in metabolic parameters during resistance training and dairy supplementation with no caloric restriction without having any impact on metabolic properties. More studies are warranted to explain this significant decrease in FM.
