Short-term resistance training combined with leucine-enriched protein supplementation increases integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) rates in young adults.
Incorporating leucine-enriched protein bars may enhance muscle protein synthesis during resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
MyoPS during STRT+Leu (1.53 ± 0.06%/day) was greater than STRT alone (1.43 ± 0.06%/day).
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
