More from this paper
- Following REX, there were significant elevations in p38 MAPKThr180/Tyr182 phosphorylation compared to rest (~348%) and BFR (~973%) (P<0.05).Strong
- A single bout of low-intensity cycling with BFR is insufficient to induce intracellular stress responses necessary to activate skeletal muscle autophagy signaling.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
