Study Summary

Several trials have found that nutritional supplementation can elicit an increased rate of skeletal muscle protein synthesis following a single bout of exercise in both young and older individuals. However, there have been no studies that have investigated if nutritional supplementation and exercise can cause a sustained increase in physical functioning and fat free mass, particularly in older adults with functional limitations. This study will compare the effects of a nutritional supplement versus a placebo on exercise training induced changes in physical functioning older adults who are at risk for mobility disability.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome will be the time to walk 400 meters, expressed as average gait speed during the 400 M walk. All participants must be able to walk 400 meters in \<15 minutes at walking at their normal speed. The 400 M walk will be assessed at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months, with the changes at 6-months being the primary outcome.
