Post-exercise consumption of soy flour (providing ~29g protein) combined with structured resistance training significantly increases leg muscle strength in young athletes.
If you are a young athlete doing leg resistance training (like lunges) twice a week, consuming about 73 grams of soy flour mixed with water and a bit of sugar immediately after your workout can help increase your leg strength. This works best when your training is structured and progressive.
In conclusion, adding protein supplementation to support weight training can increase muscle strength... The results of statistical tests using the t test showed that testing the data resulted in (p<0.05) a percentage increase of 6.91%.
Why this rating
The study is a quasi-experiment with a single group (no control group), a very small sample size (n=14), and a short duration (8 weeks).

- Total daily protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day is sufficient for maximizing resistance training-induced muscle gains, with an upper confidence interval of 2.2 g/kg/day.Strong
- Resistance exercise training combined with sufficient dietary protein intake acts synergistically to maximize skeletal muscle hypertrophy, with protein intake saturating around 1.6 g/kg/day for general populations and potentially requiring 2.0-2.2 g/kg/day for resistance-trained individuals.Strong
- Trans fats should be completely eliminated from the diet, as they increase LDL cholesterol, decrease HDL cholesterol, and are directly associated with increased coronary risk.Strong
