AI synopsis

What people are saying

The discussions reflect a nuanced perspective, with posts such as 'If your calves are not growing, this might be the reason why' and references to the small protein synthesis increase in the soleus, indicating moderate interest and engagement. The tone varies from supportive to questioning, which results in a balanced agreement score and a neutral impact feeling overall.

AgreementNeither agree nor disagree

Discussions are mixed; some posts support the idea that the soleus muscle responds poorly to resistance exercise, while others question or provide alternative interpretations.

InterestModerate interest

Postings show some curiosity about muscle responses, with phrases like 'might be the reason why' indicating mild interest, but overall engagement with the subject remains moderate.

EngagementModerate engagement

Several discussions include references to the study's findings and specific muscles like the quadriceps and calves, suggesting a moderate level of engagement and some detail-oriented responses.

ImpactNeutral impact

The debate hints at potential implications for training and muscle adaptation, but the conversations do not strongly suggest a high impact on broader practices or theories.

Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how the soleus muscle in humans responds to resistance exercise by measuring muscle protein synthesis, finding a significant but relatively modest increase after exercise.
  • Despite using high-intensity exercises, the soleus muscle showed only a small rise in protein synthesis rates compared to larger muscles like the vastus lateralis, which have a higher response.
  • The results suggest that the calf muscles, particularly the soleus, may be less responsive to resistance training, potentially explaining why they don't grow or adapt as much from such workouts.]

If your calves are not growing, this might be the reason why This study found a small increase in protein synthesis in the soleus after training (20%) Increase in protein synthesis in muscle groups such as the quads is approximately 200% higher https://t.co/VUYeJ53zkq https://t.co/Xh4XNlz3eX

「カーフはデカくなりにくい」というのはデータ的に示されていて、他の筋に比べると筋合成のレスポンスが極端に悪い。 Trappe et al. 2014は、外側広筋の筋合成率を100%とした場合、ヒラメ筋の筋合成は35%ほどしか起こらないという報告をしている。 https://t.co/kK7yXOJyBP

กิน Creatine ตอนไหนดี ก่อนออกกำลังกาย ระหว่างการออกกำลังกาย หรือหลังการออกกำลังกาย งานนี้เอาศึกษาผลจากงานอื่นๆ สรุปว่ายังพบอะไรที่เขาสนใจเป็นผลชัดเจน ๕๕๕ ก็ต้องศึกษากันต่อ ส่วนผมก็คิดว่าก็ทานๆกันไปตาม protocol เดิมก่อนคับ มันก็เพิ่ม performance ได้ดีอยู่ https://t.co/kZTYKejLig https://t.co/LdgFRD6SIb

กล้ามน่องฝึกแล้วขึ้นยากจริงมั้ย ? งานนี้เขาให้ฝึกต้นขา (Quadriceps) เทียบกับกล้ามเนื้อน่อง (มัด Soleus) แล้วดู MPS นะครับ พบว่าการฝึกต้นขาเนี่ย MPS สูงขึ้น 100% ในขณะที่กล้ามน่องขึ้นแค่ 35% https://t.co/NmVmIo3v1Y https://t.co/VSfgjrIIVy
