Lean Body Mass Response to Higher-protein Diets During Winter Military Training

United States, Norway73 participantsStarted 2015-01

Plain-language summary

The objectives of this study are to: 1) determine effects of a prototype recovery food product providing supplemental energy on whole-body protein balance, skeletal muscle mass, and biomarkers of physiological status and strain during winter military training, and 2) determine the extent to which varying macronutrient composition (protein-based \[PRO\] versus carbohydrate-based \[CHO\]) of the food product modulates the physiological consequences to strenuous military training.
