Prolonged exercise training improves the acute type II muscle fibre satellite cell response following a single bout of resistance exercise in older men.
Older men can benefit from prolonged exercise training to enhance muscle repair and adaptation.

We show that the acute muscle satellite cell response following exercise can be improved by prolonged exercise training in older men.

- Type I muscle fibre satellite cell content increased significantly at 24 and 48 hours after a single bout of resistance exercise before the exercise training programme.Strong
- The greater acute increase in type II muscle fibre satellite cell content at 24 hours post-exercise recovery after training was correlated with an increase in type II muscle fibre capillarization.Strong

- 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
