An interventional study of High Protein and Low Protein in Overweight, sponsored by McMaster University. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 30 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-06-09.
Sponsored by McMaster University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
A four week intervention will take place with the participants. They will undergo 6 days a week of high intensity training. They will also be at a 40% energy deficiency. One group will have a normal intake of protein, 1.2g/kg, while the other will have 2.4g/kg. It is our thesis that the participants with the higher protein will retain more lean mass.
3,670 studies on the registry are indexed under Overweight; 849 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is below the median of 73 across 3,175 interventional studies indexed under Overweight.

Body Composition
To compare the effect of normal protein intake (1.2 g/kg per day) and increased protein intake (2.4 g/kg per day) on body composition over a 4 week period of energy restriction in young males (18-30), with intense exercise training. Body composition will be measured via DXA, Bod Pod, Bio-impedance, skin folds.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Psychological state
To compare the psychological state of the participants, before, during and after the intervention. To see if the mind will grow with the body as high intensity exercise is performed, or whether the mind will tire and scores will be reduced. Measurement tactics will in include POMS, and PANAS questionnaires for mood, and stroop, isometric hand grip, operation span test, and vigilance task.
Time frame: 4 weeks
