Metabolic adaptation

Resistance training improves net protein balance from 0.22 +/- 0.13 to 0.54 +/- 0.08 g.kg(-1).d(-1).

Resistance training enhances the body's ability to retain protein, which may influence dietary protein recommendations.

Significant training-induced increases in both NPB (PRE = 0.22 +/- 0.13 g.kg(-1).d(-1); POST = 0.54 +/- 0.08 g.kg(-1).d(-1)) were observed.
