topicSoy Protein Resistance Training Meta-Analysis
claimObjective 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.

claimPairwise 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).

claimThe 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.

claimConclusion Among commonly available protein supplements, whey protein at approximately 30-35 g/d was associated with the largest gains in lean body mass when combined with RT, although this dose-response estimate is exploratory.
