Randomized trial finds no significant difference in muscle mass and strength changes in young men on animal vs. plant protein diets, suggesting both support resistance training outcomes.
Background Recent evidence suggests that both animal and plant proteins support strength and hypertrophy gains when paired with resistance training and adequate protein intake. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of supplementary protein source (blend of plant-based [PLNT] vs. animal based [ANML]) to habitual diet on changes in muscle mass and strength in healthy young men undertaking resistance training.
