Objective: Previous studies have presented the effects of carbohydrate and protein intake using a single food or supplement. However, little knowledge is available regarding the long-term effects of protein diet supplementation on muscle mass and function. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a 12-week high-intensity resistance exercise program combined with a high-carbohydrate (HCHO), high-protein (HPRO) diet on body composition, muscle function, anabolic/catabolic hormones, and blood amino acid levels.
Methods: This study included 27 male college students, who were divided into an HPRO group (n=12) and an HCHO group (n=15). Three to five sets of resistance exercises were performed four times a week at 75% of 1- repetition maximum for 12 weeks.
Results: The weight and body fat percentage decrease.. View More»
