Abstract in brief

This study investigated whether the muscle's immediate response to resistance exercise and essential amino acids (EAA) accurately predicts the overall 24-hour muscle balance, finding that the 24-hour fractional synthetic rate (FSR) was higher after exercise and EAA intake.
The exchange of phenylalanine, an amino acid used as a marker, increased significantly during exercise and EAA consumption, indicating heightened muscle protein synthesis, and these changes were consistent over both short (3-hour) and full (24-hour) periods.
Overall, the findings suggest that the muscle's acute anabolic response to exercise combined with amino acid intake adds to the resting response, and this immediate response effectively reflects the muscle's total 24-hour protein balance.
