Brief summary
Patients with critical illness loose bodymass, mainly muscle. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate wheather tailored physical training and/or a sip drink (proteinrich) have effect on the six minutes walking test (6MWT), muscle strength, body weight, body composition and quality of life after intensive care. This is a single center randomised controled study comprising patients ≥45 years of age staying 5 days or more in the intensive care unit (ICU). The design is factorial. Inclusion takes place when the patient is leaving the ICU.
