High vs Normal Protein Diets, Resistance Exercise, Lean Mass and Strength Gains

Sarcopenia Clinical Trial

Official title: Effect of Normal and High Protein Diets in Lean Mass, Adiposity, and Strength in Postmenopausal Women Practitioners of Resistance Exercise

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effect of different types of diets (high and normal protein) on lean and fat mass, and strength in postmenopausal women practitioners of resistance exercise. Two groups will be created: high protein (1.2 protein g/body mass/day) and normal protein (0.8 protein g/body mass/day). The same training will be performed for both groups.

Clinical Trial Description

Both groups will undergo the same training protocol, differing only on the protein content of the diet. The dietary assessment will be made through the 24-hour food recall, being conducted at the beginning, middle and end of the intervention. Resistance exercises for upper and lower limbs will be performed, at 70% of one repetition maximum. SPPB, tug, 6-minutes and 400 meters will be performed. ;
