ImpactModerate impact

The dialogue suggests that the study influences thinking about muscle building and protein needs, highlighting its relevance for fitness and physiology discussions.

Abstract in brief

  • Resistance training in untrained young men led to muscle growth and increased lean body mass, despite reducing overall protein synthesis and breakdown.
  • The study found that resistance exercise decreased whole-body protein turnover (both synthesis and breakdown), but improved net protein retention, meaning more protein was retained in the body for muscle growth.
  • Urinary nitrogen balance improved after training, indicating that the body was conserving more protein, which supports muscle hypertrophy despite lower rates of protein turnover.

@DrMyohead @metapredict most whole-body measures will go up and down and almost continually so as they predominantly reflect rapidly turning over proteins. Declines in protein turnover by 15N Gly (Ala very much the same) https://t.co/W0T3Cjio7A in direct contrast to increases seen with an infusion 1/2

@Iron_Cub You’ll need even less protein as you get more experienced even. the finding that the more experienced you are, the less protein you need, has been replicated in several studies https://t.co/Y6QxTjuyRt https://t.co/EqPnp4bjui https://t.co/xbHyKuYn8C

Previous pub from same authors in free living individuals , however this had a slightly different question that was asked. https://t.co/UM2cWj1Hrt
