Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in muscle mass after the 3-month training period and supplementation of collagen peptides compared to placebo supplementation verified by BIA measurement (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are improving arm and leg strength messured via handgrip and leg press test, changes in fat mass messuered with the BIA and changes in the metabolic risk profile (waist circumference, triglycerides, HDL / LDL cholesterol, blood pressure) after the 3-month training period. Additionally it is examined to which extent the effects are influenced by the oral administration of collagen peptides compared to placebo. | — |
