Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Individual change in gait speed >+0.1 m/s over a study period of 12 weeks. Gait speed is measured at T0 (start of the study period), T1 (after 4 weeks), T2 (after 8 weeks) and at the end T3 (after 12 weeks). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increase in protein intake (by 0.1 kg), change in MNA-LF, development of hand strength, reaction speed, hydration and weight stability, development of knee extensor strength and TTM grading | — |
