About

A four week intervention will take place with the participants. They will undergo 6 days a week of high intensity training. They will also be at a 40% energy deficiency. One group will have a normal intake of protein, 1.2g/kg, while the other will have 2.4g/kg. It is our thesis that the participants with the higher protein will retain more lean mass.
