Measure
Exercise + BCAA
Exercise will include a 3x/wk for eight weeks. Exercise protocol is designed to provide a high-volume, moderate-intensity whole body training stimulus. BCAA will include \~7-10 g of BCAAs (100 mg/kg) daily for eight weeks.
Exercise + Placebo
Exercise will include a 3x/wk for eight weeks exercise protocol is designed to provide a high-volume, moderate-intensity whole body training stimulus. Placebo will include \~7-10 g of maltodextrin (100 mg/kg) daily for eight weeks.
