A high-protein diet with and without strength training shows no negative effects on oxidative stress markers in older adults.

ABSTRACT: A long, healthy and pain-free life is the goal of an aging society. However, people become increasingly less active in old age, which can lead to sarcopenia. To counteract this development, strength training and a sufficient protein supply are essential. To investigate the effects of a high-protein diet in combination with strength training on oxidative stress markers in older adults, 116 men and women underwent a 17-week single-blind randomized control trial with 3 groups (Control CON, Recommended Protein RP and High Protein HP) as part of the NutriAging Study. After finishing a 6-week dietary intervention, a strength training program was additionally implemented for RP and HP for the remaining study period. CON continued with their habitual protein intake throughout the study. Blood was
