Whey Protein
with Resistance Training
Thank you for your interest
in the Whey Protein with Resistance Training Study at the Energy Balance
Lab. Please take a few minutes to look over the details of the study
(below).
DETAILS:
This study is designed to investigate
the effects of resistance weight training in conjunction with protein
supplementation on body weight, body composition, and metabolism.
The weight training will take about one hour to complete. You will perform
the training 3 days per week for 9 months in a private exercise room
equipped with state of the art equipment and a personal trainer to help
guide you through the exercises. You also will be asked to drink
a protein supplement shake immediately following the resistance training
exercises. The project lasts 9 months, and you will be required
to stay in the Lawrence area and train 3 day/week over the summer. Our
exercise facility is open from 7am to 7pm Monday-Friday and 10am-1pm
on Saturday.
COMPENSATION:
At the completion of the study you
will be compensated $1000.00. You also will receive detailed information
about your body and fitness levels, including body composition (fat
to muscle ratio), and metabolism. These tests normally cost > $500
to perform in the clinic; however, you receive the services for FREE
as a study participant.
