The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of protein intake beyond habitual intakes associated with resistance training (RT) on metabolic syndrome (MetS)-related parameters, isokinetic strength and body composition in healthy older women. Thirty older women (68.8 ± 4.3 years) participated in this investigation and were assigned to receive 35 grams of whey protein or placebo combined with RT, over 12-weeks, 3 times per week. Blood samples, blood pressure, dietary intake, strength, and body composition were assessed before and after the intervention period. Two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures was applied for comparisons. Both groups improved the skeletal muscle mass (SMM), muscular strength, waist circumference (WC), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, glucose, resistance, reactance and MetS z-score risk. However, the improvements in SMM, WC and MetS z-score risk were significantly greater in protein group (PRO) when compared with control group (CON). Moreover, protein group (PRO) significantly decreased %body fat when compared with control group (CON). Higher protein intake combined with RT promoted greater improvements in SMM, %body fat, WC and MetS z-score risk in older women.
