About this study

Official title: Using Resistance Exercise and Protein Consumption to Protect Bone Health During Weight Loss

The purpose of this study is to determine if post-exercise protein supplementation can rescue the anabolic response of muscle and bone to resistance exercise during caloric restriction.

Read the detailed description
  1. Preliminary Testing Prior to the study start, participants will be weighed and body composition will be determined using bioimpedance analysis. Then participants will undergo a 5RM barbell back squat exercise testing procedure.
  2. Randomization Participants will proceed through each of the following conditions lasting 3 days: CON: Participants will be in energy balance and consume 1.2 g protein/kg BW/day. Participants will be provided 30 g maltodextrin post-exercise. CR+C: Participants will be restricted to 15 kcal/kg FFM/day and consume 1.2 g protein/kg BW/day. Participants will be provided 30 g maltodextrin post-exercise. CR+P: Participants will be restricted to 15 kcal/kg FFM/day and consume 1.2 g protein/kg BW/day. Participants will be provided 30 g whey protein post-exercise.
  3. Diet Prescription Dietary energy intake will be controlled using clinical products, maltodextrin and whey protein isolate to meet target energy intakes. Participants will receive calcium and Vitamin D supplementation throughout the study.
  4. Exercise Prescription Participants will perform one bout of 5 sets of 5 repetitions of barbell back squat exercise on the morning of Day 3 each condition. Additional exercise and intense physical activity will be prohibited.
  5. Assessments Body weight and composition (DXA + BIA), fasting blood draws for assessment of metabolic and anabolic hormones and questionnaires will be conducted before and after each condition. A 24-hour serial blood draw procedure will be conducted following each workout session on each Day 3.
  6. Washout Once a participant completes a study condition, participants will continue to take daily body weights at home for up to one week. Then participants will be required to wait one more week before completing their next condition during which they will resume regular diet and physical activity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Caloric Restriction, Post-Exercise Protein and Energy Balance in people with Weight Loss and Starvation, run by University of Nebraska Lincoln at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Serum [IGF-1] (ng/mL) (time frame: Baseline, Pre-Exercise, 0-24 Hours Post-Exercise). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jun 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
