IOC consensus statement: dietary supplements and the high-performance athlete (2018, background): “5 g protein/kg (3–4 times per day and in close temporal proximity to exercise, with postexercise being consistently shown to be effective) Enhances lean mass gains when ingested during programs of resistance training due to increased provision of building blocks (amino acids) and leucine as a trigge”
International Society of Sports Nutrition Position Stand: protein and exercise (2017, background): “Cermak and colleagues [35] pooled the outcomes from 22 separate clinical trials to yield 680 subjects in their statistical analysis and found that protein supplementation with resistance training resulted in a 13.”
Skeletal Muscle: A Brief Review of Structure and Function (2014, background): “that the gains in muscle mass and strength with strength training can be augmented by protein supplementation in both young and older volunteers [48].”
