There was a significant main effect of resting muscle glycogen content, exercise intensity, and time on pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activation.
Understanding the effects of glycogen and intensity on PDH can inform training and nutrition strategies.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
