The heavy loads allow
for myofibrillar protein synthesis to take place which, as discussed, will increase the size of the contractile proteins.
«Protein ingested before sleep is properly digested and absorbed throughout the night, providing precursors
for myofibrillar protein synthesis during sleep in older men.
Not exact matches
On the other hand, real muscle growth is caused by
myofibrillar hypertrophy, which happens when you train with heavy weights
for low reps, and this type of hypertrophy is also responsible
for huge strength gains.
You might think that someone training
for size would only need sarcoplasmic, whereas someone training
for strength would only need
myofibrillar.
Now, there has been some back and forth as to whether or not you can exclusively train
for sarcoplasmic or
myofibrillar hypertrophy.
Myofibrillar proteins are the proteins in muscle that cause muscles to contract and are responsible
for the strength of the muscle contraction.
Experimental setup Researchers at the University of Toronto measured the number of grams of protein needed
for optimal postprandial
myofibrillar protein synthesis in two groups of men.
Conclusion «The protein intake references derived herein could be considered when setting protein intakes
for older men (based on a balanced three - meal daily protein intake) and when developing nutritional strategies to maximize
myofibrillar protein synthesis and, potentially, maintain muscle mass», the researchers write.
This post / discussion is incomplete in many ways; only one is that it fails to explain / account
for the difference between
myofibrillar growth vs sarcoplasmic growth and the type of training that accounts
for each adaption.
Low reps are also effective
for stimulating
myofibrillar hypertrophy.
The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of alcohol intake on anabolic cell signaling and rates of
myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) in humans during recovery from a bout of strenuous exercise approximating stresses an athlete may experience in training and performance
for various team sports such as various football and rugby codes, and court sports.
