The objective of this study is to develop a resistance training intervention that improves mobility and quality of life in diabetic patients. It is also our intension to achieve a better understanding of the relation between diabetic neuropathy and…
The objective of this study is to determine whether the intake of protein with extra leucine or extra carbohydrates added results in an improved muscle protein synthesis compared to the intake of only protein in elderly.
The objective of this study is to test whether meat structure plays an important role in protein digestion, to maximise the amino acid availability and to stimulate the muscle protein growth in elderly people.
The aims of this project is three-fold: 1) to assess the difference in functional ability and postural control between former polio patients with and without a history of recurrent falls; 2) to determine which risk assessment tool is the most…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a single meal-like amount of protein with or without fat on postprandial muscle protein synthesis in healthy elderly men. Furthermore, as a secondary objective, we will assess…
To gain a more complete scientific understanding, it is necessary to examine whether an adaptation does in fact occur after habitual high or low amounts of protein intake with regard to the anabolic response to subsequent protein intake. In the…
Primary Objective: To provide evidence for the efficacy of wheat protein and wheat protein hydrolysate when compared with milk proteins as a dietary protein to stimulate postprandial muscle protein synthesis in vivo in healthy older humans.…
To determine the contribution of proximal or distal muscle weakness to perturbations of stance induced by posturography.
The primary objective of the current study will be to evaluate the (cost)effectiveness of a PE intervention in order to prevent back and neck pain among a heterogeneous group of workers.
The objective of this pilot study is to investigate the feasibility and effect of a high-intensity physical training program for elderly patients who are scheduled for abdominal oncological surgery on the preoperative maximal aerobic capacity and…
The aims of the study are fourfold: 1) to assess dual-task walking performance in patients with late sequelae of polio and compare this to dual-task walking performance of age-matched healthy controls; 2) to investigate the reproducibility of a dual…
The first aim of this proposal is to investigate the post-prandial muscle protein synthesis rates in young and elderly men in response to a meal-like protein bolus after a period of rest or physical activity (study A). The rest trial (REST) will act…
Because the increasing fall problem, mainly due to an impaired gait and balance ability and partly caused by trips, this study will investigate fall risk by detecting fall related movement characteristics and by detecting stumbles inclusive the…
To determine whether the intake of minced beef is equally effective as ingestion of a bovine milk protein beverage in stimulating post resistance exercise muscle protein synthesis rates in young men.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a meal-like amount of dietary protein prior to sleep on postprandial muscle protein synthesis in healthy young and elderly men, following exercise, during the night. Furthermore, as…
To define the amount of dietary protein required to optimally stimulate post-exercise muscle protein synthesis in the older population.To assess whether co-ingesting 1.5 g of free leucine (contained within 15 g dairy protein) along with 15 g protein…
Primary: To assess the effects of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on thigh muscle volume (TMV) in community-dwelling older adults. And to assess the effect of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet combined with…
Effects of NMES on physical function and skeletal muscle mass
Primary Objective: To determine the effects of balance training on the neural control of standing sway in healthy younger and older adults and see if the learned balance skills are retained. Secondary Objective: To determine if balance improvements…
The aim of this Eat well, Move well intervention is to study the effect (in addition to DOW) on physical performance, nutritional status, delaying or preventing institutionalization, number of falls, and quality of life of frail older adults with…
