The short-term effect of high versus moderate protein intake on recovery after strength training in resistance-trained individuals

Figures & data

Table 1 Participant characteristics and baseline measurements

Table 2 Mean dietary intake at baseline and across intervention periods

Table 3 Performance repetitions and global muscle soreness across testing days (T1-T3) for both moderate (PRO_MOD) and high (PRO_HIGH) protein dietary interventions

Fig. 1 Mean creatine kinase (CK) levels post exercise for both dietary interventions. Figure demonstrates mean CK levels post exercise after each testing day (T1-T3). Data are presented as M ± SD. ^# Significantly different from T1 for both PRO_MOD and PRO_HIGH (p ≤ 0.003)

Fig. 2 Mean tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels post exercise for both dietary interventions. Figure demonstrates mean TNF-α levels following each testing day (T1-T3) for both dietary interventions. Data are presented as M ± SD. No significant differences were reported

Fig. 3 Pre-exercise phase angle assessment across testing days (T1-T3) for both dietary interventions. Figure shows the mean phase angle for both dietary interventions assessed pre-exercise across testing days. Phase angle assessed by bioelectrical impedance. All data are presented as M ± SD. ^# Significantly different between PRO_MOD and PRO_HIGH at T3 only (p = 0.012)
