Research protocol and timetable. Pre = beginning of the study; post = following 9-week intervention period; FFQ = food frequency questionnaire; RPE = rate of perceived exertion.Mean ± SD post-pre 1-RM values (Δ1-RM) for back squat 1-RM exercise (left graphs) and for bench press exercise (right graphs). Values are absolute kg (top graphs; normalized to body weight (BW) (middle graphs) and to lean body mass (LBM) (bottom graphs). * = significant between groups effect (Participants’ characteristics for the ACC (ACC = amorphous calcium carbonate; PL = placebo; BM = body mass; BMI = body mass index; LBMI = lean body mass index; BF = body fat percentage; LBM = lean body mass (e.g., FFM).Eight-week resistance training program.Reps = number of repetitions in each set.Mean (±SD) daily micro- and macronutritional consumption values of the ACC and the PL groups, derived from the FFQ completed at the beginning of the study (two-tailed CHO = carbohydrates.
