Effects of Protein Timing and Resistance Exercise on Fat Metabolism
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Healthy
In brief
The extent to which resistance exercise training and protein timing effects localized (belly fat) and systemic (whole body) fat metabolism in resistance-trained women is unknown. Therefore, this study will assess subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue lipolytic rate and whole body substrate utilization over the course of two trials: 1) consuming casein protein during the day, and 2) consuming casein protein at night, before bed.
