Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate potential metabolic effects of whey protein high in protein and high in leucine(HPHL) compared to soy protein high in protein and low in leucine(HPLL) in osteopenic patients in a randomized controlled intervention study.

The investigator hypothesize that HPHL will increase physical function and the ratio muscle mass / fat mass in this condition.

Conditions

  • Osteopenia

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Whey protein (HPHL)

The Whey protein group are supplemented 45 gram of whey protein, high protein high leucine (HPHL), every day.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Soy protein (HPLL)

The Soy protein group are supplemented 45 gram of Soy protein, high protein low leucine (HPLL), every day.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Placebo (P)

Will not be given protein but the same energy content using maltodextrin (in a blended fashion).

OTHER

Resistance training

For 45 minutes 3 times a week the participants will complete resistance training with elastic bands in their own homes.
