Strength changes over time (mean ± SE) for the training control (TC) and high-protein (HP) groups combined (n = 24). Absolute strength was similar between TC and HP at all time points, and strength increases were significant (p ≤ 0.05) between all time points for all measures, except for those of isometric arm and leg flexion, which were not significantly different between weeks 8 and 12 (NS). ^† One-repetition (1-RM) maximum (kg) ^‡ Isometric dynamometry (kg)
