Abstract in brief

  • The study found that protein supplementation after resistance exercise helps increase muscle mass (fat-free mass) and strength (1RM leg press) in both younger and older individuals during a 6-week training program.
  • The meta-analysis of 22 randomized controlled trials involving 680 subjects showed statistically significant improvements in muscle gains with protein supplementation compared to placebo.
  • The results suggest that adding protein to exercise routines can effectively enhance muscle development and strength regardless of age, confirming its role in maximizing adaptive muscular responses during resistance training.]
