Individualized Physical Exercise Training and Enhanced Protein Intake in Older Citizens During Municipality-based Rehabilitation

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (actual)
• Sponsor: University College Absalon · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The study will investigate if: 1) individualized physical exercise training in combination with extra protein intake can increase measures on all three ICF-levels? 2) extra protein intake alone increases outcomes of usual care treatment?

Detailed description

Successful rehabilitation of the growing number of elderly citizens can lead to preservation of functional independence and improvement in the quality of life. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of an individually tailored physical exercise training program combined with increased protein intake in order to improve measures on all three ICF levels (International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health). By conducting the study in a real-life clinical setting, research is translated into practice involving health professionals and the target group in the development of new knowledge on how to enhance the outcome of rehabilitation, thereby increasing the overall capacity of the elderly citizen, and decreasing the expenditure of health-services.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Usual Care	Usual care involves physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in an unknown format, and will, therefore, be monitored closely and described accordingly.
OTHER	Usual Care with Protein Supplementation	The intake of protein supplementation (ARLA PROTINO) will be consumed by participants in the form of protein-enriched yogurts for easy consumption two times daily, with each bottle containing 14 g of protein.
OTHER	Individualized Physical Exercise Training with Protein Supplementation	Besides getting prescribed individualized physical exercise training programs, this group will consume protein supplementation (ARLA PROTINO) in form of protein enriched yogurts for easy consumption, two times daily, with each bottle containing 14 g of protein.
