Interventions/Control_1

Whey protein (FrieslandCampina). A single oral ingestion of 13.5 g protein dissolved in 200 mL water on one study day (once daily, one day only). The trial is conducted in a crossover design with approximately one week washout between interventions.

Interventions/Control_2

Fermented whey protein (Biotis Fermentis, FrieslandCampina). A single oral ingestion of 13.5 g protein dissolved in 200 mL water on one study day (once daily, one day only). The trial is conducted in a crossover design with approximately one week washout between interventions.
