Postexercise protein ingestion (25-g whey protein) enhances myofibrillar protein synthesis by 67% compared to placebo after concurrent training.
Ingesting protein after concurrent training can significantly enhance muscle protein synthesis, suggesting the importance of post-exercise nutrition.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Postexercise rates of myofibrillar protein synthesis increased above rest in both trials (75%-145%, P < 0.05) but were higher with PRO (67%, P < 0.05).
Why this rating
Based on randomized crossover design with clear results.
