Metabolic adaptation
Urinary nitrogen balance increased from 2.8 +/- 1.7 to 6.5 +/- 0.9 g N.d(-1) after resistance training.
An increase in urinary nitrogen balance indicates better protein retention, which may affect dietary protein needs.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Urinary nitrogen balance increased after training.
Why this rating
Based on the controlled study design with specific measurements.
Source
