Tóm tắt

 BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Exercise and nutrition may be useful strategies in dynapenic and sarcopenic obesity management, but the identification of treatment modalities aimed at improving this condition is still lacking. We compared the effect of a five-month hypocaloric diet plus resistance training (RT) with and without essential amino acids (EAAs) on body composition, physical performance, and muscle strength among older adults with dynapenic obesity (DO). METHODS: Older individuals (n = 48) with DO [(BMI ≥ 30 kg/m RESULTS: Both groups reduced body mass (RT: -4.66 kg
  RT+EAAs: -4.02 kg), waist circumference (RT: -4.66 cm
  RT+EAAs: -2.2 cm), total fat mass (RT: -3.81 kg
  RT+EAAs: -3.72 kg), and compartmental fat mass with no between-group differences. Both groups improved 1-RM strength (33-47%), isometric torque for body mass (RT: 14.5%
  RT+EAAs: 10.6%), and functional performance (chair stand (RT: -3.24 s
  RT+EAAs: -1.5 s) and HGS (RT: -2.7 kg
  RT+EAAs: 2.9 kg)) with no between-group differences. CONCLUSIONS: A moderate hypocaloric diet combined with RT improves body composition and physical function in DO participants, but EAA supplementation did not provide additional benefits.
