Neither pre-sleep nor post-exercise protein consumption influences resistance exercise training adaptations in older adults
Consuming 40 g of protein post-exercise or pre-sleep did not enhance RET-induced improvements in muscle thickness or strength in older adults with adequate baseline protein intake (≥1.0 g/kg/day). RET alone elicited significant gains, emphasizing that adherence to training and meeting daily protein requirements are more critical than timing strategies for untrained older adults.
