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.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
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.
Why this rating
Based on the controlled study design with specific measurements.
