Vegan Whey Protein for Muscle Anabolism and Post-exercise Recovery
Vegan Whey Protein for Muscle Anabolism and Post-exercise Recovery
NCT ID: NCT07119749 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 27 Completion: 2024-11-22
Conditions
Muscle Soreness
Interventions
Stable isotope tracer consumption, DXA scan, Controlled diet, Saliva sample, Blood sample, Muscle biopsy, Resistance exercise, Isometric strength test, Supplement
Summary
This study will be a randomised, double-blind trial where participants will be randomly assigned to consume either a i) vegan whey protein; ii) a whey protein; or iii) a non-protein carbohydrate control supplement for 3 days following strenuous eccentric knee extension exercise. For the duration of the study period, participants will orally consume deuterated water stable isotope tracer (D2O). This, together with repeated blood sampling and muscle biopsies will allow for the calculation of free-living myofibrillar protein synthesis rates under conditions of rest and over 24-, 48- and 72-hours post-exercise recovery.
Primary Outcome
Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates (iMyoPS)
