Study Summary

This trial will explore if a diet higher in protein plus weight lifting can help older people build more muscle and move better.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for non-smoking, recreationally active older adults aged 60-80 with a BMI of 18.5-30 who are in good health and understand English. Exclusions include tobacco users, those with certain illnesses or excessive alcohol consumption, assistive device users, recent cancer patients (with some exceptions), and individuals on specific medications or supplements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines the muscle-building effects of a high-quality plant-based protein blend combined with weight lifting in older adults. It compares the effectiveness of corn+pea protein ingestion versus milk protein and other controls to see which supports muscle growth better when paired with resistance training.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this trial involves dietary interventions rather than drugs, side effects may be minimal but could include digestive discomfort from new proteins introduced into the diet.
