- Multicomponent exercise combined with nutritional support showed the largest improvement in hand grip strength (ES: 6.39) versus control.
- Resistance training plus nutritional support also improved hand grip strength, with an effect size of 3.63.
- For functional mobility (TUG), multicomponent plus interventions provided the greatest reduction in completion time (ES: -1.88) versus control.
- Integrated exercise-nutrition strategies are supported to preserve physical function in healthy older adults, with high-quality trials needed for refinement.
