MyoPS increased above REST in both untrained and trained states, with a greater increase in males.
Males may experience a greater increase in muscle protein synthesis following resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
MyoPS increased above REST in UT (P = 0.032) and T (P < 0.01), but to a greater extent in males (~23%; P = 0.023).
Why this rating
The study design includes direct measurements of MyoPS.

- Training increased muscle strength by approximately 20%-126%, muscle thickness by approximately 8%-11%, and average fiber cross-sectional area by approximately 15%-20%.Strong
- MyoPS is positively associated with muscle thickness and fiber cross-sectional area only in the trained state for both sexes.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
