Dietary intervention
muscle hypertrophy
While undertaking the resistance exercise training program, participants were advised upon a dietary intervention to support muscle hypertrophy with respect to sufficient daily energy intake [Participants were provided with a caloric target [(BMR × PAL) × 1.1] to place them in a ∼0 to 10% energy surplus, and a protein target of 2 g·kg bmParticipants were required to record their dietary intake for a minimum of 3 d per wk, but were requested to record as many days as possible. All dietary recordings were performed via MyFitnessPal to allow for ease of recording and real-time feedback on energy and macronutrient intake compared with targets. Dietary data were discussed weekly with the research team, and further advice/encouragement was offered if daily targets were not being met (with participants excluded if they fell below 1.6 g·kg bm
