Higher Protein Intake does Not Potentiate Resistance Training-Induced Muscular Adaptations in Middle-aged Adults

Maintenance of muscle strength helps preserve functional capacity and independence in aging populations. Protein intake above the current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) is believed to optimally facilitate resistance training adaptations; however, the suitability of consuming these protein amounts for middle-aged adults remains unclear. PURPOSE: To determine whether dietary protein ingestion above the RDA modulates muscle strength and body...
