Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of protein consumption before sleep or immediately after exercise during 12 weeks of resistance exercise training in older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Are there differences in muscle growth or strength during 12 weeks of resistance training when 40 grams of protein is consumed either before sleep or immediately after exercise? Are there differences in cognitive performance during 12 weeks of resistance training when 40 grams of protein is consumed either before sleep or immediately after exercise?

This study is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Participants will be randomly allocated into 1 of 3 groups. All three groups will perform the same 12-week resistance exercise training program two times per week and consume 40 g of protein: 1) Immediately post-exercise, 2) 30 minutes prior to sleep, or 3) no supplemental protein (control). Test of muscle growth and strength, and cognitive performance will be measure before, during, and after the exercise training program.

Researchers will compare the 3 conditions to determine if consume protein after exercise or before sleep during 12 weeks of resistance exercise training affects muscle growth and strength, and cognitive performance.
