Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Graded Protein plus Resistance TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This group will participate in a progressive resistance training program and will be instructed to consume a diet with a gradation of protein over the 12 week study duration.
Group II: RDA Protein plus Resistance TrainingActive Control1 Intervention
This group will participate in a progressive resistance training program and will be instructed to consume a diet with the recommended daily allowance of protein over the 12 week study duration.
