HOTB 300: Some straight talk about protein intake and muscle mass
Friday, 20 September, 2024
Many athletes involved in all types of sports add protein powders to their daily regimen, assuming that it will help stimulate muscle mass as they train. But does it? You would assume many research studies are looking into this, and you would be correct. I discuss an elaborate study that shows that provided the protein intake is adequate, exercise will help strengthen muscle somewhat, as well as improve the weight of bone mass. Additional protein does not work any better than adequate protein. Here is the link to the study. I found an interesting article That refers to many studies on building muscle mass later in life. The article can be found here. The national Institute of Health (NIH) recently put out a literature review of many randomized control studies on the subject of muscle mass with exercise in older individuals. That link can be found here. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on my website contact page, at healing outside the box.com.
