The Claim
In resistance-trained female collegiate athletes, the consumption of 24 grams of whey protein or casein protein immediately before and after resistance training sessions over an eight-week period results in no significant differences in changes in body composition, muscle strength, or anaerobic performance, suggesting equivalent effectiveness of both protein types when consumed in equal per-dose amounts around training.
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.
For female college athletes who lift weights, taking 24 grams of whey or casein protein before and after workouts for eight weeks leads to the same results in muscle, strength, and performance — so both types work just as well.
See the scientific wording
In resistance-trained female collegiate athletes, consuming 24 grams of whey or casein protein immediately before and after resistance training sessions for eight weeks produces no significant difference in changes in body composition, muscle strength, or anaerobic performance, indicating that both protein types are equally effective when consumed in equal doses around training.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave female athletes either whey or casein protein around their workouts and found both worked equally well for building muscle, losing fat, and improving performance.
