No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Protein supplementation may promote increases in strength and hypertrophy in the context of resistance training (RT) and reduce markers of inflammation, while sufficient levels of protein are necessary for healing certain wounds and maintenance of muscle mass in a protein depleted state. Protein supplementation could be useful to improve clinical outcomes.

Conditions

  • ACL Injury

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Protein (PROT)

Participants will receive Combat Protein Powder made by MusclePharm in an amount sufficient to take 80g daily until their next visit. They will be encouraged to ingest 40 g after exercise and 40 g before bed which will partly comprise their daily goal. They will be educated on the concept of complete high quality proteins, and that some proteins can facilitate muscle growth greater than others. Additionally, they will receive meal plan ideas and shopping tips that will facilitate healthy and economical protein consumption up to or beyond their daily goal.

OTHER

Control (CONT)

Instructed not to alter their diet based on the app, and to continue to eat as they normally would.
