A total of 33 usable data sets were obtained from the survey among 40 women who participated in this 10-week RT program, and they were given either 5 grams of placebo or amino acid (leucine). RT and the amino acid supplement played an important role in body satisfaction overall. Determining the most effective combination of approaches to tailor recommendations for adults for optimal quality of life is crucial.</p> ER -
