Protein intake is a moderating variable for body recomposition in older women undergoing resistance training, with low protein intake having a less favorable effect.
Emphasizing adequate protein intake is crucial for optimizing body recomposition in older women engaged in resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Results suggest that protein intake is a moderating variable for body recomposition in older women undergoing RT, with a low protein intake having a less favorable effect on body recomposition.
Why this rating
Based on the analysis of data from 130 untrained older women across six studies.
