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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Dietary Supplement: high protein milk
  • Dietary Supplement: Placebo
N/A

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
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.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

This arm involved 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. drink r

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. Body composition [6 weeks]

    Lean body mass and body fatness will be evaluated using bioelectrical impedance

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. 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

  2. Muscular Power [6 weeks]

    Using the Wingate test
