  1. Upper- and lower-body strength, as assessed by five-repetition maximum (5RM) bench press (upper) and squat (lower). CON = control; EX = exercise only; EXFS = exercise + food supplement. *Main effect for time (p ≤ 0.05); **Group-by-Time interaction (p ≤ 0.05). aDifferent from PRE (p ≤ 0.017); bDifferent from CON (p ≤ 0.05).
