Summary

The effect of small-sided team sport training and protein intake on muscle mass, physical function, and adaptations important for health in untrained older adults was examined. Forty-eight untrained older (72±6 years) men and women were divided into either a team sport group ingesting a drink high in protein (18 g) immediately and 3 h after each training session (TS-HP, n=13), a team sport group ingesting an isocaloric drink with low protein content (3 g; TS-LP, n=18), and a control group continuing their normal activities (CON, n=17).

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Small-sided ball game training with high protein intake	In the present study, small-sided ball game training consists of repeated intervals of floorball and cone ball training on small areas and 3-4 participants on each team. The supplementation high in protein consists of 18 g protein consumed immediately after and 3 h post exercise
OTHER	Small-sided ball game training with low protein intake	n the present study, small-sided ball game training consists of repeated intervals of floorball and cone ball training on small areas and 3-4 participants on each team. The supplementation low in protein consists of 3 g protein consumed immediately after and 3 h post exercise.
