Comparative Effects of Integrated Physical Training With High Protein Diet Versus Low Protein Diet in COVID-19 Asymptomatic Older Adults With Sarcopenia Symptoms.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Physical training and high protein diet and Physical training and low protein diet for Sarcopenia. Completed, enrolled 76 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Sarcopenia is the major health concern and common consequence of COVID-19 in the aging population. Moreover, this clinical condition has not been considered in usual physical rehabilitation practice, and its optimal protein requirement in food is not well defined, which requires a meaningful study in this field. The reports of this trial would deliver the latest evidence and proper guidelines for the prescription of physical exercises and also provide an optimal dietary plan in sarcopenia patients with COVID infection. Objective: To find and compare the clinical and psychological effects of integrated physical training with a high protein diet versus a low-protein diet in community-dwelling COVID-19 asymptomatic older adults with Sarcopenia symptoms.

Timeline
Interventions
In addition to the integrated physical training exercises, group A received a high protein diet in the range of 1.1 - 1.3 g/kg protein/ ideal body weight/day (\>1 g/kg aBW/d)
In addition to the integrated physical training exercises, group B received low protein diet in the range of 0.7 - 0.9 g/kg protein/ ideal body weight/day (\<1 g/kg aBW/d)
