Encouraging Results
Results were very encouraging.
Post-exercise protein supplements increased fat-free mass (mainly muscle) and leg press strength. The results were similar in younger and older people. Consuming a supplement after weight training containing approximately 25 grams of protein is an effective way to increase muscle mass and strength in people of any age.
