Resistance exercise mitigates the reduction in muscle protein synthesis (MPS) during energy restriction (ER).
Incorporating resistance exercise can help maintain MPS during energy restriction.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The reduction in MPS...was attenuated with resistance exercise.
Why this rating
Based on study design from abstract.
Source
Pronounced energy restriction with elevated protein intake results in no change in proteolysis and reductions in skeletal muscle protein synthesis that are mitigated by resistance exercise
