Study Design
- Type
- Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)
- Methods
- post-exercise consumption of rice protein isolate compared to equally dosed whey protein isolate given in large, isocaloric doses
Consumption of moderate amounts of animal-derived protein has been shown to differently influence skeletal muscle hypertrophy during resistance training when compared with nitrogenous and isoenergetic amounts of plant-based protein administered in small to moderate doses. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine if the post-exercise consumption of rice protein isolate could increase recovery and elicit adequate changes in body composition compared to equally dosed whey protein isolate if given in large, isocaloric doses.
