Arms & Interventions

High protein intake

Experimental

High protein intake: large bolus of protein in teh diet the day before testing

Intervention: High protein intake (Dietary Supplement)

No protein intake

Placebo Comparator

No protein in the diet the day before testing

Intervention: Placebo comparator (Other)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Muscle protein fractional synthetic rate following protein ingestion

Time Frame: 3 hours

The ability of the muscle to synthesise new proteins will be assessed over a 3 h period following protein ingestion and will be compared between groups. This only occurs on one occasion.

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
