Aerobic conditioning prior to resistance training increases satellite cell (SC) content, activation, and differentiation.
Enhancing SC content through aerobic conditioning may improve muscle adaptation to resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
SC content, activation, and differentiation increased with RT, where type I total and quiescent SC content was greater in AC + RT compared to the RT leg.
Why this rating
The study design allows for direct measurement of SC changes.

- 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
