NeoChemoPRT: a Randomized Study of Resistance Training and Post-Workout Protein to Improve Body Composition During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Dietary supplement
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
In this study, the investigators hypothesize that a high dose of post-workout protein nutrition regimen focused on food quality and an observed exercise regimen utilizing high-load resistance training initiated during or after cancer treatment will improve body composition and functional capacity.

Participants
Target number of participants: 30
Treatments
Experimental: 20 grams of protein
Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to a post-workout protein consisting of 20 grams of whey protein. The protein will be 100% cold processed and micro-filtered, non-GMO grass-fed whey protein isolate, soy and gluten free, unflavored, and unsweetened. This will include Irish Dairy, which is whey protein isolate and soy lecithin, and Raw GrassFed Whey, which is whey protein concentrate. Participants will not know which amount of protein they receive.
Experimental: 60 grams of protein
Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to a post-workout protein consisting of 60 grams of whey protein. The protein will be 100% cold processed and micro-filtered, non-GMO grass-fed whey protein isolate, soy and gluten free, unflavored, and unsweetened. This will include Irish Dairy, which is whey protein isolate and soy lecithin, and Raw GrassFed Whey, which is whey protein concentrate. Participants will not know which amount of protein they receive.
