Protein supplementation is said to be one of the cost-efficient and practical strategies to meet protein needs for growth and exercise, and can help maximize muscle gain from resistance exercise. It facilitates faster recovery from stress-induced tissue damage and enhances performance output. Protein sources derived from animal products are generally recognized as the highest quality protein. However, altering the protein composition of a protein source can improve the protein quality. The yeast protein supplement we will use in this study has a similar amino acid composition to whey protein, which is derived from an animal product, but it is produced more sustainably. Our study aims to compare the effects of yeast and whey protein on muscle mass over 16 weeks.
