Timing
of postexercise protein intake is important for muscle hypertrophy with resistance training in elderly humans.
Essential amino acid and carbohydrate ingestion before resistance exercise does not enhance
postexercise muscle protein synthesis.
Protein ingestion after exercise stimulates muscle protein synthesis and inhibits muscle protein breakdown, resulting in net muscle protein accretion during the acute stages of
postexercise recovery (5 — 7).
Testosterone levels fell below resting levels 30 minutes
postexercise during all supplement treatments compared to the control.
For that reason, CoQ10 helps fulfill the energy demands of the heart, and may preserve cognitive function and reduce
postexercise fatigue.
«Our results have implications for nutrient formulations designed to support increased muscle protein anabolism in the elderly and suggest that whey protein offers clear advantages to soy protein in its capacity to support both rested and
postexercise increases in myofibrillar protein synthesis», the researchers wrote.
On the other hand, many athletes deal with
postexercise appetite suppression after long or intense bouts of physical activity.
The first study, «Fructose and galactose enhance
postexercise human liver glycogen synthesis» [1], looks at athletes depleted of liver glycogen by intense cycling, and assessed the effectiveness of three sugar drinks at replenishing liver glycogen.
Lactate, growth hormone, and testosterone were significantly elevated immediately
postexercise in all subjects.
They have a well - documented effect of increasing lower - limb venous return and decreasing venous
pooling postexercise, which has been associated with dramatic increases in lower - limb oxygenation (4,8).
Postexercise refueling Another Australian study found that glycogen, the muscle's primary fuel source during exercise, is replenished more quickly when athletes ingest both carbohydrate and caffeine following high - intensity workouts.
Regular postexercise cooling enhances mitochondrial biogenesis through AMPK and p38 MAPK in human skeletal muscle.
Gaine, P. C., Pikosky, M. A., Bolster, D. R., Martin, W. F., Maresh, C. M., and Rodriguez, N.
R. Postexercise whole - body protein turnover response to three levels of protein intake.
The goal of
postexercise active recovery — commonly known as the cooldown — is similar to active recovery between sets: lactic acid removal.
R. Bahr and O.M. Sejersted, «Effect of Intensity on Excess
Postexercise O2 Consumption,» Metabolism 40.8 (1991): 836 - 841.
When athletes were provided with a bolus of dietary protein immediately before sleep, muscle protein synthesis rates were ∼ 22 % higher during
postexercise overnight sleep when compared to the ingestion of a placebo (27).
Previous work has shown that ingestion of milk protein, or its main constituents whey and casein, give rise to a
greater postexercise muscle protein synthetic response (37, 38) and greater gains in muscle mass and strength during prolonged resistance - type exercise training when compared with the ingestion of soy protein (10).
Early postexercise muscle glycogen recovery is enhanced with a carbohydrate - protein supplement.
... prolonged exercise at intensities above 40 % to 50 % of VO2max is required in order to trigger the metabolic processes that are responsible for the prolonged EPOC component extending beyond 2 hours postexercise [1].
The authors believed that the reduction in fatigue may have occurred
from postexercise removal of lactate from the exercising muscles under the influence of massage (28).
Postexercise fatigue after foam rolling was significantly less than after the subjects performed planking (p ≤ 0.05).
It can show your resting heart rate and
postexercise recovery heart rate, peaks during exercise, and can alert the wearer to a sudden elevation.
, Combined ingestion of protein and free leucine with carbohydrate increases
postexercise muscle protein synthesis in vivo in male subjects.
The authors suggest that: «Possible mechanisms underlying the HIIE - induced fat loss effect include increased exercise and
postexercise fat oxidation and decreased postexercise appetite.»
Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that
postexercise muscle protein synthesis rates increase more with the ingestion of greater amounts of protein, reaching maximal stimulation after ingestion of ∼ 20 g of protein (39, 40).
All participants consumed a snack containing ∼ 10 g of protein immediately after every exercise session to support
postexercise recovery and to standardize postexercise dietary intake.
