Quick Summary

In this randomized controlled trial in young men in Japan, whey protein and neuromuscular electrical stimulation increased the strength of a small muscle deep in the hand.

What was studied?

The effect of whey protein and/or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the strength and thickness of the abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADM; a deep muscle on the outer side of the palm that moves the little finger away from the other fingers).
