Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to identify the prevalence of whey protein sensitivity in UIW athletes and to assess the effectiveness of 4-weeks of whey versus plant-based protein supplementation on athletic performance and recovery, specifically in those with whey sensitivity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Dependent t-tests and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) will offer comparative analyses between whey and plant protein conditions in subjects with and without whey sensitivity. Symptom questionnaires, perceived performance questionnaires, wearable fitness tracking data, and strength test results will be compared across all four conditions (baseline, washout, whey supplementation, and plant supplementation).

Related variables will be analyzed using GLM univariate, multivariate, and repeated measures. The overall multivariate Wilks' Lambda and Greenhouse-Geisser univariate p-levels will be reported. Differences among groups will be determined using Tukey's least significant differences (LSD) post hoc analyses.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group: Subjects with no protien intake

20 subjects will receive no intervention for 10 weeks but complete performance tests and assessments during weeks 0, 4, 6, and 10.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Whey Protein, Then Plant-based Protein

Performance tests/assessments will be conducted as baseline testing without whey protein, followed by four weeks of whey protein intervention consisting of one 70cc (32g) scoop of supplement provided within an hour after athletic practice, five days a week. For athletes with more than one practice a day, the supplement will be provided after the strength training session. The powder will be shaken with 8-12oz water. Performance measured at the end of 4 weeks.

After a two-week washout period, they will undergo another performance evaluation and begin the same protein supplement regimen, but with a 70cc (32g) scoop of the plant-based protein supplement.
