Protein, calorie and macronutrient controlled diet, derived from either omnivorous or non-animal sources, alongside unilateral resistance exercise, over a three-day period.
Participants received a control diet either derived from omnivorous or non-animal food sources, providing 1.8g.kg.day of protein, for a three-day period. Calories were calculated and set to place participants in a state of energy balance. Participants completed three bouts of unilateral resistance exercise, 5 sets of 30 maximal concentric knee extension contractions, on each morning that they received the control diet. During this three-day period participants also consumed a deuterium oxide tracer allowing for the measurement of muscle protein synthesis, in rested and exercised tissue, with incremental biopsies.
