Interventions

  • Protein Isolate — DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
    Participants in this arm will consume protein isolate (24g/sachet) twice daily for 8 weeks.
  • Progressive Resistance Exercise Training (PRE) — BEHAVIORAL
    Based on the resistance training guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine, each subject will attend two supervised resistance training sessions weekly for a duration of 8 weeks. A minimum two day rest between PRE sessions will be required. Twelve exercises that targets each major muscle group will be conducted at each exercise session in the order listed below: 1. Seated chest press 2. Lat pulldown 3. Military Press 4. Seated row 5. Bicep Curl 6. Triceps Extension 7. Leg Press 8. Leg extension 9. Leg Curl 10. Heel Raise 11. Abdominal curls 12. Back extension At the first exercise session, each subject's 1-RM will be estimated for the exercises listed above

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the impact of pea protein or whey protein supplementation during a progressive resistance exercise (PRE) regimen on body composition and strength in young adults who are not undergoing regular strength training. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do lean body mass changes differ between supplement groups following a progressive resistance exercise PRE training program? 2. Does improvements in muscle strength differ between groups following a PRE training program? 3. Does glucose, insulin, and essential amino acid appearance and clearance rate differ between groups following a PRE training program? Researchers will compare pea protein supplementation to whey protein supplementation to see if there are any differences in body composition and strength Participants will: * Consume Pea or Whey protein supplement twice daily for 8 weeks * Participate in a PRE training program twice weekly for approximately 1.5 hours per day
