Protein needs for older male cyclists after exercise
This study looks at how much protein male cyclists over 65 need after a cycling workout to stay healthy and perform well. You will complete about 7 lab visits and do exercise and diet tasks to help researchers find the right protein amount.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 65 or older
- You are a competitive or serious cyclist training more than 4 days a week (about 100 km weekly)
- Your body weight has been stable for the last 6 months (no big weight loss or gain)
- You can travel to the lab for about 7 study visits
- You are generally healthy with no more than one chronic condition (like diabetes or high blood pressure)
- You do not smoke, use anti-inflammatory drugs, or take excessive protein supplements

This study looks at how much protein children who are already in the “normal weight” range need to support an active lifestyle. It may help researchers fine-tune nutrition guidance for kids who are active and healthy.
This study looks at how much protein healthy young adults need to build and maintain muscle. Researchers will track your body's protein use during different activities to find the optimal amount for you.
This study tests whether a special whey protein drink helps build muscle in older adults, both at rest and after exercise. It compares a leucine-enriched protein to regular protein to see which works better.
This study looks at how two types of protein drinks (one from plants, one from whey/dairy) affect muscle and metabolism in older adults who have COPD. You'll lie in a bed for several hours while researchers measure your body's response to the protein. The goal is to find which protein might better help maintain muscle strength.
This trial compares two types of protein, one from milk and one from wheat, to see which helps older adults build more protein in their body. You will receive drinks containing one protein type on separate days and have blood and muscle samples taken.
This study looks at how well protein from plant-based foods works in young adults (18–39) and older adults (60–79). It aims to understand if plant proteins can meet the body's needs as we age.
