Short-term resistance training increases integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) compared to rest.
Resistance training is effective for increasing muscle protein synthesis.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
MyoPS during STRT (1.43 ± 0.06%/day) and STRT+Leu (1.53 ± 0.06%/day) were greater than Rest (1.31 ± 0.05%/day).
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
