Resistance exercise training combined with appropriately timed protein ingestion is a highly effective means to promote muscle hypertrophy.
Incorporating resistance training and protein intake can enhance muscle growth in individuals at risk of muscle wasting.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
we propose that resistance exercise training combined with appropriately timed protein (likely leucine-rich) ingestion represents a highly effective means to promote muscle hypertrophy.
Why this rating
Based on results from acute and chronic studies in humans.
