The Claim

In resistance-trained female collegiate athletes, the consumption of 24 grams of protein both before and after resistance training sessions, as part of a structured eight-week program, causes significant improvements in anaerobic power, as measured by increases in vertical jump height (3.5–4.1 cm) and broad jump distance (10.4–12.9 cm).

Source: The effect of resistance training combined with timed ingestion of protein on muscle fiber size and muscle strength.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

Challenges
0score

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Cause and effect

In plain English

If female college athletes who lift weights drink a protein shake with 24 grams of protein before and after workouts for eight weeks, they’ll likely jump higher and farther.
