- Brief Summary
We examined the effects of combining resistance exercise and LEAA supplementation on muscle loss during the first 3 weeks after gastrectomy. We found no significant difference in the rate of muscle loss between the intervention and control groups, suggesting that resistance training and LEAA supplementation did not prevent muscle loss. However, the intervention group showed a significant improvement in muscle strength and QOL score, suggesting a potential improvement in physical function and QOL.
