Study flow diagram for enrolling very old (>75 years of age) subjects with sarcopenia in a nursing home from June to December 2017. Thirty-six elderly were recruited and divided into three groups: control (n = 12), milk (n = 12), and soy milk (n = 12) groups. However, one subject (n = 1) was excluded from soy milk group due to bellyache after drinking soy milk. All participants joined a resistance exercise training program three times per week (30 min/time). Elderly subjects in the milk and soy milk groups drank 200 mL of milk or soy milk for breakfast and as a snack after exercise.
