The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the impact of pea protein or whey protein supplementation during a progressive resistance exercise (PRE) regimen on body composition and strength in young adults who are not undergoing regular strength training. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Do lean body mass changes differ between supplement groups following a progressive resistance exercise PRE training program?
2. Does improvements in muscle strength differ between groups following a PRE training program?
3. Does glucose, insulin, and essential amino acid appearance and clearance rate differ between groups following a PRE training program? Researchers will compare pea protein supplementation to whey protein supplementation to see if there are any differences in body composition and strength
Participants will:
* Consume Pea or Whey protein supplement twice daily for 8 weeks
* Participate in a PRE training program twice weekly for approximately 1.5 hours per day
