Protein Ingestion Timing on Body Composition and Biochemical Markers in Resistance-trained Males

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertrophy, Physical Performance

In brief

Protein ingestion timing is an important component for muscle accretion. The investigators hypothesized that protein ingestion timing could affect muscular adaptations and performance in resistance-trained men.
