Synergistic Effect of Increased Total Protein Intake and Strength Training on Muscle Strength: A Dose-Response Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Protein supplementation augments muscle strength gain during resistance training. Although some studies focus on the dose-response relationship of total protein intake to muscle mass or strength, the detailed dose-response relationship between total protein intake and muscle strength increase is yet to be clarified, especially in the absence of resistance training.

Objective

We aimed to assess the detailed dose-response relationship between protein supplementation and muscle strength, with and without resistance training.

Design

Systematic review with meta-analysis.

Data sources

PubMed and Ichushi-Web (last accessed on March 23, 2022).

Eligibility criteria
