Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of high protein supplement (natural and artificial) towards maximal strength and muscle hypertrophy (arm muscle and leg muscle) of fitness members. This research is a quasi-experimental research design involving 39 new male members who have never taken high protein supplements. Muscle hypertrophy was measured using a tape measure and skinfold thickness. Data were analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that: (1) the average of natural protein supplement was 21.9 mm for arm muscle, and 19.2 mm for thigh muscle, and (2) the average of artificial protein supplement was 27.9 mm for arm muscle, and 26.3 mm for thigh muscle. From the result of the research, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of high protein supplement towards arm and thigh muscle hypertrophy of fitness center members in Padang.
