Changes in muscle cross‐sectional area and strength during leg immobilization: amelioration through resistance exercise with or without whey protein supplementation
Abstract
We aimed to determine the effectiveness of low volume resistance exercise, alone or in combination with a whey protein supplement, on muscle mass and strength after unilateral leg immobilization in humans. Sixteen recreationally active participants (23.9±5.0 yr; BMI = 25.4±3.6 kg·m−2) were divided into three groups: exercise (EX; n=6), whey protein supplementation with exercise (WHY+EX; n=6), and control (CON; n=4). All subjects wore a …
