Participant characteristics
| PLA | PP | |
|---|---|---|
| (n = 9) | (n = 9) | |
| Sex | M = 6, F = 3 | M = 5, F = 4 |
| Age (y) | 22 ± 1 | 23 ± 2 |
| Body mass (kg) | 78 ± 4 | 69 ± 4 |
| Height (cm) | 176 ± 1 | 173 ± 3 |
| BMI (kg·m-2) | 25 ± 1 | 23 ± 1 |
| Total eccentric work (J·kg-1) | 642 ± 43 | 574 ± 44 |
| Habitual protein (g·kgBM-1·day-1) | 1.1 ± 0.1 | 1.4 ± 0.2 |
| Controlled protein (excluding condition) (g·kgBM-1·day-1) | 1.2 ± 0.1 | 1.2 ± 0.1 |
| Controlled protein (including condition) (g·kgBM-1·day-1) | 1.2 ± 0.1 | 1.8 ± 0.1a |
Values represent mean ± SEM. Total eccentric work represents the total volume of eccentric work performed during the unilateral eccentric exercise protocol on day 7 of the experimental period normalized for body mass. Habitual protein represents participants 3-day average habitual protein intake obtained from a food diary. Controlled protein represents the 14-day average protein intake provided by the dietary control. Comparisons between PLA and PP were performed with separate unpaired t-tests.
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; F = female; M = male; NS, nonsignificant (P > 0.05); PLA, placebo; PP, protein-polyphenol; y, years.
