Resistance exercise followed by protein feeding enhances myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) compared to feeding alone.
Practitioners should encourage protein intake after resistance training to maximize muscle protein synthesis.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Feeding protein after resistance exercise enhances the magnitude and duration of myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) over that induced by feeding alone.
Why this rating
Based on study design from abstract.
