The Claim
In resistance-trained female collegiate athletes, a 4-day per week undulating resistance training program combined with 24 grams of protein consumed before and after each training session over eight weeks causes significant improvements in lower-body strength, specifically increasing leg press one-repetition maximum by approximately 89–90 kg on average.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If female college athletes who already lift weights add a specific workout plan and eat 24 grams of protein before and after each session, they’ll get way stronger in their legs—adding about 90 kg to their leg press max in just eight weeks.
