Combined resistance training and amino acid-based supplementation for sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Resistance training combined with amino acid supplementation may improve muscle strength and physical function in older adults with sarcopenia, although effects on muscle mass remain limited. Responsiveness to the intervention may vary by baseline protein intake, training frequency, setting, type of amino acid supplementation, and whether the supplement includes co-nutrients, all of which should be considered when designing sarcopenia management strategies.
