Metabolic adaptation
No significant differences in metabolic flexibility were observed between the RE+CON and RE+PRO groups.
Combining resistance exercise with either a control or high protein diet does not significantly alter metabolic flexibility outcomes.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
No significant differences occurred between the RE+CON and RE+PRO groups (p ≥0.06).
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
