First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at whether spreading protein evenly across meals or adding a leucine supplement to a fasting-style diet can help male tactical athletes (ages 18–35) maintain muscle, improve performance, and reduce muscle damage during 8 weeks of hard training. Sixty-nine participants will follow one of three protein diets while their body composition, strength, and muscle damage markers are measured. The goal is to find the best way to eat protein to support intense physical training.
