Understanding factors regulating muscle mass is crucial for counteracting muscle loss in clinical settings.
Future research should focus on strategies to prevent muscle loss, especially in older adults.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
we provide suggestions for future research that we hope will yield important information for the development of exercise and nutritional strategies to counteract muscle loss in a variety of clinical settings.
Why this rating
The review suggests future research directions based on existing studies.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
