Exercise stimulated a rise in MPS in the WHEY-EX and CHO-EX legs, which were greater than MPS in the WHEY-RE leg and the CHO-RE leg.
Resistance exercise enhances muscle protein synthesis, regardless of the post-exercise beverage consumed.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Exercise stimulated a rise in MPS in the WHEY-EX and CHO-EX legs, which were greater than MPS in the WHEY-RE leg and the CHO-RE leg (all p<0.05), respectively.
Why this rating
Based on the double-blind randomized crossover trial design.
