Muscle GLUT-1 content was increased (P<0.05) after training; however, the increase was not observed until 31D (131%).
GLUT-1 levels in skeletal muscle increase significantly after 31 days of endurance training.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
