Resistance Training and Milk Supplementation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Post-resistance training high protein milk supplementation may be a viable method to elicit muscular gains.
The investigators hypothesis is that high protein milk supplementation would improve skeletal regulatory markers, hormonal responses and body composition in resistance-trained men.

Detailed Description
The aim of this investigation was to compare the effects of high protein milk supplementation (daily and after training sessions) during 6 weeks of resistance training on skeletal muscle regulatory markers, hormonal responses and body composition in resistance-trained men.
Specific aims of the study are to:
To investigate the extent to which high protein milk supplementation will improve anabolic factors, lean body mass, fat mass and decrease catabolic markers after 6 weeks of resistance training in resistance-trained men.

Experimental: High protein milk Experimental: High protein milk consumption This arm involved High protein milk whole consumption concomitant with 6 weeks of resistance training. Subject ingested consumed 1 x 250 mL immediately after resistance training and 1 x 250 mL half an hour before bedtime. |
Dietary Supplement: high protein milk
This intervention consisted of high protein milk consumption concomitant with 6 weeks of resistance training. Subject ingested consumed 1 x 250 mL immediately after resistance training and 1 x 250 mL half an hour before bedtime.
Dietary Supplement: Placebo
This intervention consisted of the consumption of a maltodextrin drink with a 9% solution with a vanilla flavor concomitant with 6 weeks of resistance training. Subject ingested consumed 1 x 250 mL immediately after resistance training and 1 x 250 mL half an hour before bedtime.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Circulatory Myokines levels [6 weeks]
Fasting blood samples were collected from the antecubital vein using standard procedures and then analyzed to establish concentration of myostatin and follistatin.
- Circulatory hormone levels [6 weeks]
Fasting blood samples were collected from the antecubital vein using standard procedures and then analyzed to establish concentrations of testosterone, IGF-1, growth hormone, insulin and cortisol
- Body composition [6 weeks]
Lean body mass and body fatness will be evaluated using bioelectrical impedance
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Muscular Strength [6 weeks]
Using a 1 repetition maximum test (defined as the maximal weight an individual can lift for only one repetition) for the bench press and back squat exercises
- Muscular Power [6 weeks]
Using the Wingate test
