Figure 4From: Immune Function and Muscle Adaptations to Resistance exercise in Older Adults: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial of a Nutritional SupplementTimeline for individual subject participation. Each individual will participate in the study for approximately one year. Participation will include consumption of a nutritional supplement or placebo twice daily for 42Â weeks. During this time, subjects will also complete 12Â weeks of resistance training followed by 26Â weeks of post-training follow-up (that is, a detraining period). The particular procedures and assessments involved during each week of participation are listed. X/X denotes assessment of response to a single bout of exercise by collecting specimens before and after exercise for blood (1Â hour) and muscle (72Â hours). The scheduling timeline is approximate and can be extended based on the scheduling needs of the subjects and study staff.Back to article page
