Background and Objectives
Evidence shows that there is a strong link between nutrition and muscle health, particularly with regards to protein intake.
However, there are still open questions regarding the optimum protein intake depending on both physical activity and age. The Expert Group aims to answer this question; clarifying whether existing data for muscle health of those population groups differ.
Output
The Expert Group expects to deliver a peer-reviewed publication that will give a better understanding of the optimum protein intake, especially across potentially vulnerable target groups for muscle health.
