PQS Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effects of three different types of protein on post-exercise muscle growth in active children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for active kids aged 8-16 who are in the top 20% of their age group for physical activity and have a high level of fitness as measured by specific tests. They must be healthy, with no underlying conditions that could affect their participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing how different types of protein (milk, rice, or soy) taken after exercise can affect muscle building in kids. Each participant will try all three proteins in random order to see which one helps the most with muscle growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary proteins that are commonly consumed, side effects are expected to be minimal. However, some participants may experience digestive discomfort or allergic reactions depending on individual sensitivities.

Group I: ChildrenActive Control3 Interventions
Participants underwent 3 metabolic trials in a randomized crossover fashion, where they were provided with an isonitrogenous quantities of either milk protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, and rice protein isolate following a standardized bout of variable intensity exercise.
Group II: Adolescent MalesActive Control3 Interventions
Participants underwent 3 metabolic trials in a randomized crossover fashion, where they were provided with an isonitrogenous quantities of either milk protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, and rice protein isolate following a standardized bout of variable intensity exercise.
Group III: Adolescent FemalesActive Control3 Interventions
