A study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise journal found that protein and
carbohydrate supplementation immediately before and after resistance exercise resulted in significant increases in both lean body mass and strength over a 10 - week period compared to ingesting the same supplementation further from training.
«WHEY supplementation compared
with carbohydrate supplementation, during a caloric - restricted «cut» diet can assist in maintaining LBM (lean body mass) while allowing for the loss of FM (fat mass)».
According to a study published in 2003 in the «International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism,» increasing the body's blood sugar levels and insulin levels
through carbohydrate supplementation can spare glycogen, or stored fuel within muscle tissue, which can lead to better aerobic endurance.
Effects of a combined essential amino acids /
carbohydrate supplementation on muscle mass, architecture and maximal strength following heavy - load training
