2.1. Study Protocol
The participants were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. The intervention group received a daily snack product containing MFGM and protein for 12 weeks. In addition, both groups (intervention and control) were taught and advised on a simple five-movement exercise routine, which they were encouraged to independently perform every day during the study. To monitor their compliance with the advice, the participants filled out a daily track sheet, where they reported whether they had consumed a snack product and/or performed the exercise.
