Sponsor's own description
This study aimed to investigate the effects of a newly developed plant-based protein blend regarding health and safety, body composition, and performance on healthy and physically active adult individuals, specifically team sports athletes. A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was used to compare the effects of the plant-based protein versus whey protein, after an 8-week supplementation protocol, on body composition, biochemical markers, muscle strength and power, as well as aerobic performance in male futsal players. The working hypothesis is that this special blend of plant-based protein will be equivalent to whey protein, not only regarding body composition and performance, but also insofar as health and safety at the biochemical and physiological level.
