Objective—To explore the effect of muscle-enhancing nutrition support on anthropometric indexes after anti-G physical training. Methods—Ten healthy male volunteers were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. Based on anti-G physical training, different muscle-enhancing nutrition support were used for 16 weeks. Anthropometric indexes were measured every two weeks. Results—The neck circumference, chest circumference, armpit upper arm circumference, upper arm circumference, upper arm minimum circumference and upper arm maximum circumference increased, while waist circumference, hip circumference and thigh circumference decreased in the experimental group and the control group. The body weight, fat free mass and muscle mass increased, while body fat percentage and fat mass decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in the experimental group. The body weight, boy fat percentage and fat mass increased while the fat free mass and muscle mass decreased in the control group. Conclusions—The results showed that the nutrition support in the experimental group could help improving muscle mass and reducing fat mass, and the effect was better than that in the control group.
