Summary
This study tested whether taking collagen peptides after resistance training helps untrained overweight men aged 30-60 build more lean muscle and strength compared to exercise alone. Eighty men were randomly assigned to receive either collagen or a placebo alongside a supervised workout program. Researchers measured changes in body composition and muscle strength using DXA scans and strength tests.
