Research reaffirms whey protein’s role in developing lean muscle
A study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine’s annual meeting found whey protein to be more effective in developing lean muscle when compared with soy protein, reported the U.S. Dairy Export Council, Arlington, Va.
The study, funded by the Dairy Research Institute, Rosemont, Ill., and presented at ACSM, followed participants for nine months as they completed a thrice-weekly resistance training program. They were given either 20 grams of whey protein concentrate or soy isolate daily (at breakfast on non-training days or immediately following exercise).
