Abstract in brief

  • Consuming protein before sleep significantly enhances muscle strength and hypertrophy during a 12-week resistance training program in young men, with the protein group showing greater improvements than the placebo group.
  • Both groups experienced increases in muscle size, but the protein-supplemented group had a notably larger rise in quadriceps muscle cross-sectional area and muscle fiber size, especially in type II fibers.
  • The study suggests that pre-sleep protein intake can be an effective dietary approach to optimize muscle gains and strength during prolonged resistance exercise training.]

結果からお伝えすると"筋肥大効果・筋力向上効果"といったメリットに差はなかった。 ただし、一日のタンパク質量が寝る前までに足りていなければ、寝る前のタンパク質摂取は筋肥大や筋力向上に有効◎ https://t.co/LeJdKE4uGd https://t.co/9OLsKDc0dm https://t.co/i8sAmbApO4

I've mentioned that during heavy training load phases I find it useful to take a night-time protein supplement. This study looked into protein ingestion before sleep: https://t.co/TXsNSNgqCW finding it "an effective dietary strategy to augment muscle mass and strength gains".
