The degree of capillarization in muscle is associated with the change in type II fiber CSA following resistance training.
Improving muscle capillarization may enhance the effectiveness of resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
A significant relationship was observed between type II fiber capillarization and the change in type II-fiber CSA with RT (r = 0.35).
Why this rating
The relationship is quantified with statistical analysis.

- 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
