Muscle architectural changes after resistance and stretch training programs are region-specific.
Training programs should account for region-specific changes in muscle architecture.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Muscle architectural changes, including fascicle length and pennation angle, after resistance and stretch training programs are also region-specific.

- 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
