Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To study the acute effect of (12g) protein consumption on the changes in amino acid pool (through amino-acidomics) and skeletal muscle health (strength, endurance and fatigability) among healthy Indian adults. 2. To study the combined effect of 8 week protein supplementation and aerobic exercise (150 min brisk walking) on the changes in skeletal muscle health and amino acid pool among healthy Indian adults.Timepoint: 1.Acute study- Baseline, Day 7 2. Chronic study- Baseline, end of 8th week—
