Micronutrients & recovery
Acute post-exercise peanut protein supplementation does not enhance 24-hour myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) rates compared to no supplementation after a single resistance training bout in older adults.
Don't stress about taking protein immediately after your workout. This study shows that acute muscle protein synthesis rates are similar whether you take protein right after training or not. Focus on getting your total daily protein needs met.
ModerateRefutesMEDIUM confidence
Integrated MyoPS rates over a 24-hour period were not significantly different (p<0.05) between supplement groups following the first training bout.
Why this rating
Small sample size for the tracer analysis (n=27) and short duration of the acute measurement.
