Study Summary
Fatigue is a strong predictor of negative health outcomes in older adults. The research in this study will compared the effects of 8-weeks of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs: dietary supplements commonly taken to improve muscle growth and exercise performance) added to exercise on fatigue compared to exercise with a placebo (an inactive, harmless substance). BCAAs could have an impact on improving fatigue common in older adults, especially when exercising.
Primary Outcome
Participants will complete the Fatigue Assessment Scale questionnaire (Total scores can range from 10, indicating the lowest level of fatigue, to 50, denoting the highest)
