Effect of a Novel Blend of Plant Protein and Additional Ingredients on Resistance Training Adaptations

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Resistance Exercise

In brief

This study seeks to compare the observed changes in resistance training adaptations (strength, performance, body composition, recovery, and lactate responses) after supplementation of isocaloric and isonitrogenous amounts of a novel plant protein formulation against changes observed in a pea/rice plant protein blend, whey protein, and a carbohydrate placebo in healthy resistance-trained men and women between the ages of 18-39.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 39. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Between the ages of 18-39 years
• Participants will be healthy and free of disease as determined by evaluation of a medical history
• All participants will be required to abstain from taking any additional forms of nutritional supplementation deemed to be ergogenic or that will impact resistance training adaptations (pre-workouts, creatine, beta-alanine, etc.) for four weeks prior to beginning this study and for the entire duration of the study.

You may not qualify if…

• Those individuals less than 18 and greater than 39 years of age will be excluded.
• Participants who are determined to not be weight stable defined as pre-study and visit 1 body mass levels deviating by 3% or more.
• Any individual who is currently being treated for or diagnosed with a cardiac, respiratory, circulatory, musculoskeletal, metabolic, immune, autoimmune, psychiatric, hematological, neurological or endocrinological disorder or disease.
• Body mass index >29.9 kg/m2. Males with a body mass index greater than 29.9 kg/m2, but a body fat percentage less than 27.5% fat will be accepted into the study. Females with a body mass index greater than 29.9 kg/m2, but a body fat percentage less than 32.5% fat will be accepted into the study. The average body mass index for the entire study cohort will be less than 27.5 kg/m2. As such, an ongoing calculation of the recruited cohort's mean body mass index will be maintained and people will only be randomized into the study if the average cohort body mass index value does not exceed 27.5 kg/m2
• Individuals who present with any previous injury or illness that would prevent them from appropriately completing all exercise lifts.
• Participants who are not able to fit onto the DEXA table will not be able to participate in the research due to size restrictions of the equipment. This typically includes individuals exceeding 400 pounds or those greater than 6'4".
• Those individuals with less than 3 months of structured resistance training, aerobic training, or team sport participation experience will be excluded from the study.
• Pregnant women, women trying to become pregnant, or nursing women. Currently participating in another research study with an investigational product or have been in another research study in the past 30 days.
