Multi-ingredient formulations containing high-quality milk proteins, creatine monohydrate, vitamin D3, calcium, and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may be recommended for the multimodal treatment of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.

Practitioners should consider these multi-ingredient formulations in treatment plans for sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.

Resistance exercise (RE) significantly increased metabolic flexibility in older men compared to no exercise (NE), with a medium-to-large effect size.

Incorporating resistance exercise into routines can enhance metabolic flexibility in older adults.

Higher frequency resistance training (RT) leads to significantly greater improvements in muscle strength compared to lower frequency RT.

Practitioners should consider increasing the frequency of resistance training sessions to enhance strength gains.

At 20 weeks, the protein group demonstrated greater improvement in the Short Physical Performance Battery and lower fat mass at 11 weeks.

Protein supplementation may lead to specific improvements in physical performance and fat loss in stroke patients.

A high-protein diet increased daily protein intake to 1.6 g/kg body weight and resulted in significantly increased concentrations of two metabolites and reduced concentrations of 98 metabolites compared to baseline.

Practitioners can consider a high-protein diet as a viable option for older adults to enhance metabolic health.

Protein and amino acid supplements are widely used by military personnel to increase muscle mass, enhance recovery, and support physical performance.

Practitioners should recognize the common use of protein supplements among military personnel for performance and recovery.

A habitual protein intake of approximately 1.1 g·kg -1 ·d -1 associated with resistance training may be necessary to optimize gains in skeletal muscle mass in untrained older women.

Practitioners should recommend a protein intake of around 1.1 g·kg -1 ·d -1 for older women engaging in resistance training to enhance muscle mass.

There is a positive correlation between daily protein intake and changes in skeletal muscle mass.

Increasing protein intake may enhance muscle mass gains in older women undergoing resistance training.

Hypertrophy is maximized with resistance training that provides sufficient mechanical tension and effective fiber recruitment, with a recommended weekly volume of ~10 to 20 sets per muscle group.

Practitioners should aim for 10 to 20 sets per muscle group weekly to optimize muscle growth.

Adequate protein intake of approximately 1.6 g/kg/day is essential for supporting hypertrophy, with meal distribution of about 3-4 meals/day recommended.

Ensure protein intake is around 1.6 g/kg/day and distribute meals to support muscle growth.

Adequate sleep duration of 7-9 hours per night is emphasized as foundational for recovery and adaptation in hypertrophy training.

Prioritize 7-9 hours of sleep per night to enhance recovery and muscle growth.

Daily supplementation with 38 g/day of lactic acid bacteria–fermented whey protein (LAB-FWP) led to significant improvements in physical performance, including an increase in electronic Short Physical Performance Battery (eSPPB) scores (P = .034) and hand grip strength (P = .043).

Practitioners may consider recommending LAB-FWP supplementation to improve physical performance in older adults.

The intervention group showed greater gains in skeletal muscle mass index (Δ = 1.5, P = .004) compared to controls.

LAB-FWP may be an effective strategy for increasing muscle mass in older adults.

Resistance exercise performed at longer muscle length produced significantly greater muscle hypertrophy compared to shorter length (ES = 0.283; CI 0.04–0.52; p = 0.036).

Practitioners should consider incorporating resistance training at longer muscle lengths to enhance muscle hypertrophy.

Regional hypertrophy at both distal and central regions was significantly favored by longer muscle length intervention.

Targeting both distal and central muscle regions with longer length training may optimize hypertrophy outcomes.

The effect of longer muscle length training on hypertrophy appears to be consistent across several muscle groups.

Practitioners can apply these findings across different muscle groups for hypertrophy training.

Time-efficient resistance training strategies such as supersets, drop sets, and rest-pause sets can preserve training volume and elicit similar muscular adaptations in less time than traditional training.

Practitioners can implement these time-efficient strategies to help clients maintain strength and hypertrophy despite time constraints.

Exercise selection and rest periods can be modified to fit the needs and preferences of individuals with limited time to train.

Practitioners should consider individual preferences when designing time-efficient training programs.

Time-efficient resistance training methods can help individuals develop and maintain strength and hypertrophy.

Implementing these methods can support clients in achieving their strength and hypertrophy goals despite time limitations.

At 12 months, 92.1% of patients achieved an HbA1c reduction, with a mean change of −3.8 ± 2.8%.

Practitioners can expect significant improvements in glycemic control with structured follow-up.

The DG3D study evaluates the effectiveness of culturally adapted USDG dietary patterns in improving diet quality and reducing risk factors associated with T2DM among AA adults.

Practitioners can utilize culturally tailored dietary interventions to improve health outcomes in high-risk populations.

Primary outcomes of the DG3D study include changes in diet quality, body weight, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).

Monitoring these outcomes can help assess the impact of dietary interventions on health.

In diabetic patients with poor control, a nutritional educational intervention that promotes the Mediterranean diet improves adherence to said diet, increasing the consumption of healthy foods and decreasing harmful ones.

Practitioners should consider implementing nutritional educational interventions to enhance adherence to the Mediterranean diet in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Weight loss through a healthy lifestyle can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with diabesity.

Encouraging weight loss through lifestyle changes is essential in managing diabesity.
