The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of a high-protein dairy milk beverage on outcomes related to sarcopenia in a cohort of active older adults. Results showed that the addition of protein in the form of a high-protein dairy milk with progressive resistance training, was associated with a greater increase in strength following a 12-week intervention trial. The studies within this thesis collectively emphasised the complex nature of ageing and the many cofounding variables (e.g., age, training status, biological sex, and protein intake) that should be considered in the active ageing population in future research.
