This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a combined approach to prevent frailty and heart disease in older adults. You would receive a package of three things together: a daily protein powder supplement, daily blueberries, and structured exercise sessions three times a week. The researchers believe these three approaches work better together than any one alone.
Frailty and heart disease often go hand in hand in older people, and most past research has only tested one approach at a time. This study wants to see if combining all three treatments together actually works better to keep people healthier and stronger as they age.

If you are in the treatment group, you would receive a daily protein powder supplement (with non-dairy options available) and eat 1 cup of blueberries each day for 12 months. You would also attend three 60-minute exercise sessions per week, each combining aerobic exercise and resistance training. If you are in the control group, you continue your usual medical care. Both groups will have their fitness, frailty, and heart health tested at the start, during, and at the end of the year.
