Dietary Analysis One-week (1/8/2014 to 7/8/2014) dietary analysis (excluding supplementation) revealed no differences in energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate intake between groups throughout the study (see Table 1).

Exercise Protocol
On the initial day of testing, subjects performed 6 sets of barbell squats to muscular failure using a 75 % of their 1-RM with 3 minutes of rest between sets. In an attempt to identify any difference in recovery between treatment groups, subjects returned to the gym 48 hours after the initial bout and repeated the exercise bout again. Repetitions were counted during both exercise trials and compared between groups. Three groups were supervised by study coordinators during all training sessions. (payam et al, 2013; Matthew, 2008; McHugh, 2003; Paddon-Jones, Muthalib, & Jenkins, 2000).
Measurement of Body composition
Body composition was estimated using Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA). Subjects were given up to 4 maximal attempts to achieve 1RM. Rest periods of 3 to 5 minutes were given between trials.
