The Impact of Plant-based Blends on Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis Rates in Older Adults (NCT05917223)
The Impact of Plant-based Protein Blends, With or Without Resistance Exercise, on Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis Rates in Older Men and Women
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Lifestyle interventions such as physical activity and dietary habits are the most effective non-pharmacological strategies to combat the loss of muscle mass and the development of mobility limitations with aging. Resistance training (i.e., strengthening exercise) provides a strong stimulus to build muscle mass, and protein provides the essential building blocks. Therefore, an individual's dietary practices can influence the effectiveness of an exercise program - when combined, they work together to increase the muscle-building response. However, not all proteins are equally effective at bringing about muscle growth. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a higher-quality plant-based protein blend with lifting weight on muscle building in older men and women.
