Study design and measurements (T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4) per intervention location. The 12-week intensive support intervention consists of resistance exercise training sessions twice a week under the supervision of a physiotherapist, focused on the major muscle groups, and increasing dietary protein intake to 25 grams per main meal under the supervision of a dietitian. The moderate support intervention comprises optional resistance exercise sessions at local facilities (e.g. fitness centre or sports hall) and five group-based nutrition workshops. T0, T1, T2, and T3 measurements are taken in all five intervention municipalities, T4 measurements are performed only in Epe, Ermelo/Putten, and Harderwijk
