Timing and distribution of protein ingestion during prolonged recovery from resistance exercise alters myofibrillar protein synthesis
José L. Areta et al.
The Journal of Physiology · 2013
What the research tells us
Protein distribution affected post-exercise muscle protein synthesis.
Scope & interpretation
The study measured short-term muscle protein synthesis after exercise. Its findings apply to the training population, protein schedules and observation window studied; everyday fatigue and sustained functional change require separate measurement.
