Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the distribution pattern of daily protein intake affects how much muscle protein can be built in the muscle after resistance exercise and at rest.
