Protein Supplementation and Recovery of Muscle Function

The focus is performance nutrition. Resistance exercise can induce low level muscle damage in conjunction with impaired contractile function. Milk-derived proteins contain, or induce, bioactive properties that assist muscle recovery and restore/improve muscle function. The aim of the research is the recovery of muscle function following resistance exercise. In this study, the investigators propose to undertake a comparison of the ingestion of two milk-derived protein-based recovery drinks on muscle function after resistance exercise compares to an isonitrogenous, non-essential amino acid control.
