High-protein diets (1.6 or 3.2 g kg−1 d−1) combined with resistance training (RT) or concurrent training (CT) for 16 weeks had no adverse effects on bone tissue parameters in resistance-trained males.
Practitioners can recommend high-protein diets for resistance-trained individuals without concern for negative effects on bone health.
