Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Consumption of a formulated milk beverage containing 9 grams of dairy protein, 13g of carbohydrate and 3.2 g of lipid dissolved in 200 ml of water. Energy =504kJ

At baseline all participants will undergo DXA and pqCT scans to estimate body composition on muscle size as well as isometric strength measurements.. Participants will undergo a primed constant infusion of 13C6 phenylalanine for three hours in the rested fasted state before a muscle biopsy will be obtained from the vastus lateralis to calculate muscle protein synthesis (MPS). They will then preform 3 sets of unilateral knee extension and leg press for a randomly selected leg. They will then consume either the treatment or placebo beverage. Additional biopsies will be obtained from each leg at 90 and 210 min after beverage consumption while the isotope infusion is maintained. MPS will be calculated form 0-90 and 9-210 min after beverage consumption. .

Allocation is not concealed
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomisation table created by computer software
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s

Other design features
Participants will be randomized to consume either the treatment or placebo. Their legs will then be randomized so that one remains rested while the other will undergo resistance exercise.

Type of endpoint/s
Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Three way ANOVA with treatment, time and exercise as factors. Sample size was estimated based on a power of 80% and and alpha of 5%. A standardized effect size of 1.3 was estimated from previous unpublished work comparing the effects of 6 and 10 grams of dairy protein on muscle protein synthesis in middle aged men.

Summary
Brief summary
Dairy protein is know to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and resistance exercise is know to act synergistic to further increase MPS. It is not known if a small dose of dairy protein (9 g) can increase MPS. It is hypothesized that 9 g of dairy protein will increase MPS at rest and that MPS with be further increased when 9 g of dairy protein is combined with resistance exercise.
