Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisObjective This systematic review and network meta-analysis compared the additional effects of different protein or protein-related supplementation strategies combined with resistance or functional exercise on grip strength, appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), and timed up-and-go (TUG) performance in older adults with sarcopenia or at high risk of sarcopenia.1Yang B (2026)Comparative effectiveness of protein or protein-related supplementation combined with resistance or functional exercise for sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisPairwise meta-analysis showed that supplementation added to exercise significantly improved grip strength (SMD = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.58) and ASMI (SMD = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.00 to 0.35), but not timed up-and-go (TUG) performance (SMD = -0.39, 95% CI: -0.96 to 0.18).1Yang B (2026)Comparative effectiveness of protein or protein-related supplementation combined with resistance or functional exercise for sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisThe combination of whey protein/essential amino acids and vitamin D with functional exercise showed a potential improvement in TUG performance; however, this finding was based on limited evidence and may largely reflect the contribution of functional exercise components.1Yang B (2026)Comparative effectiveness of protein or protein-related supplementation combined with resistance or functional exercise for sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisBackground Resistance and functional exercise are core non-pharmacological strategies for sarcopenia management.1Yang B (2026)Comparative effectiveness of protein or protein-related supplementation combined with resistance or functional exercise for sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisThis review aimed to synthesize current evidence on nutritional strategies for recovery following high-intensity exercise, ranging from foundational macronutrients to functional foods and bioactive compounds.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisFunctional foods and bioactive compounds may provide additional benefits as adjunct recovery strategies, although the available evidence varies considerably across exercise models, participant characteristics, supplementation protocols, and recovery outcomes.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisAmong the functional foods reviewed, tart cherry currently has the strongest supporting evidence for selected recovery outcomes.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
Protein Timing Resistance Exercise Meta-AnalysisHigh-intensity exercise improves aerobic and anaerobic performance, neuromuscular function, and sport-specific readiness but may also induce glycogen depletion, exercise-induced muscle damage, muscle soreness, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and temporary reductions in subsequent performance.4Farzana HR (2026)From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High-Intensity Exercise.
