Metabolic adaptation
Ingestion of many protein sources in temporal proximity to resistance exercise increases muscle protein synthesis (MPS) resulting in positive net muscle protein balance (NMPB).
Practitioners should encourage protein intake close to resistance training for optimal muscle growth.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Ingestion of many protein sources in temporal proximity (immediately before and at least within 24 h after) to resistance exercise increases MPS resulting in positive NMPB.
