Metabolic adaptation
Resistance training reduces whole-body protein turnover as indicated by a decrease in nitrogen flux from 0.9 +/- 0.1 to 0.6 +/- 0.1 g N.kg(-1).d(-1).
Resistance training may lead to lower protein turnover, suggesting dietary protein needs may decrease.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Significant PRE to POST decreases (p <0.05) occurred in Q (0.9 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.1 g N.kg(-1).d(-1)).
Why this rating
Based on the controlled study design with specific measurements.
