Protein intake is more important than protein source to gain muscle strength and mass
Publicado em 20 maio 2021Protein intake is more important than protein source if the goal is to gain muscle strength and mass. Protein intake is more important than protein source if the goal is to gain muscle strength and mass. This is the key finding of a study that compared the effects of strength training in volunteers with a vegan or omnivorous diet, both with protein content considered adequate. In the study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil, 38 healthy [...]ver notícia -
