Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Today, there is an important lack of knowledge on the effects of dietary protein on protein metabolism after physical activity in children. Here, the investigators will measure changes in whole body protein metabolism using minimally invasive techniques and stable isotope methodology at rest and after physical activity with the intake of milk protein.
