Summary

This study will evaluate the adaptations in skeletal muscle that occur in response to 10 weeks of weight training with or without peanut protein supplementation in untrained men and women ages 18-30

Detailed description

This is a two-phase study using both novel and conventional methods to assess how PP supplementation affects muscle tissue in young adults who engage in resistance training. These two phases will be conducted as part of a 10-week randomized controlled trial in which men and women aged 18-30 years (n=40), will be stratified by gender and randomized to a resistance training intervention (whole body, two days per week) with PP powder (72g daily; n=10 males, n=10 females) provided during the intervention (immediate group, IG) or after the intervention (wait-list control, WLC, n=10 males, n=10 females). The aims of this study are to determine the acute (deuterium oxide tracer) and chronic (peripheral quantitative computed tomography) effects of PP during resistance training on skeletal muscle myofibrillar protein synthesis rates, changes in skeletal muscle size and quality, changes in whole and appendicular body composition (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry), changes in inflammatory markers and the fecal microbiome.

Conditions

• Sarcopenia
