The effects of heavy resistance training and a high protein diet (3.4g/kg/d) on body composition, exercise performance and indices of health in resistance-trained individuals - a follow-up investigation

Background The consumption of a high protein diet (> 4g/kg/d) in trained men and women who did not alter their training program has been previously shown to have no significant effect on body composition. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to determine if a high protein diet in conjunction with a body part, split-routine heavy resistance training program would affect indices of body composition, performance and health.
