TY - JOUR AU - Dudgeon, Wesley David AU - Kelley, Elizabeth Page AU - Scheett, Timothy Paul PY - 2016 DA - 2016/01/05 TI - In a single-blind, matched group design: branched-chain amino acid supplementation and resistance training maintains lean body mass during a caloric restricted diet JO - Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition SP - 1 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - Athletes and active adults many times have the goal of improving/maintaining fitness while losing weight and this is best achieved by caloric restriction in combination with exercise. However, this poses a risk for lean tissue loss, which can limit performance. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement, in conjunction with heavy resistance training and a carbohydrate caloric-restricted “cut diet” on body composition and muscle fitness.
