after exercising...
Consumed
after exercise, this high protein bar promotes muscle protein
synthesis.
«Some athletes take the aminoacid leucine or a mixture of aminoacids immediately
after exercising, which promotes protein
synthesis that leads to muscle growth.
Studies from Burd's lab and others show that simply adding fat to an isolated protein source in the diet
after exercise does not boost protein
synthesis.

synthesis in muscles before and
after the resistance
exercise and eating.
This new research, using state - of - the - art methodology, builds on an earlier publication reporting that a soy - dairy blend extends muscle protein
synthesis when compared to whey alone, as only the blended protein kept
synthesis rates elevated three to five hours
after exercise.
People who consume 18 grams of protein from whole eggs or from egg whites
after engaging in resistance
exercise differ dramatically in how their muscles build protein, a process called protein
synthesis, during the post-workout period, researchers report in a new study.
When taken
after exercise, creatine will boost muscle creatine stores and promote greater protein
synthesis during recovery by increasing the amount of water taken up by muscle cells and increasing the release of the anabolic hormone insulin - like growth factor - 1 (IGF - 1).
One study from the Journal of Nutrition found that the ingestion of both protein and carbohydrates (0.15 grams of both per kilogram of body mass) prior to a bout of resistance
exercise increased protein
synthesis (anabolism) by 48 per cent during
exercise, and an additional 19 per cent
after exercise.
However, most types of resistance
exercise will accelerate protein turnover (an increase in the rate of protein
synthesis and breakdown), which is going to increase calorie expenditure in the hours (and, in some cases, days)
after exercise.
Blomstrand, E. Branched - chain amino acids activate key enzymes in protein
synthesis after physical
exercise.
Carbohydrates are also beneficial and providing them in a ~ 2:1 ratio with protein is shown to be best for optimizing your recovery from
exercise and stimulating protein
synthesis while preventing protein breakdown
after exercise.
Co-ingestion of carbohydrate and whey protein increases fasted rates of muscle protein
synthesis immediately
after resistance
exercise in rats.
Moore, D. R., Robinson, M. J., Fry, J. L., Tang, J. E., Glover, E. I., Wilkinson, S. B., Prior, T., Tarnopolsky, M. A., and Phillips, S. M. Ingested protein dose response of muscle and albumin protein
synthesis after resistance
exercise in young men.
Make sure to ingest about 20 - 30 grams of total protein during
exercise or the recovery period
after exercise to increase whole body muscle protein
synthesis.
Each of these protein sources provides different benefits, and incorporating all three into a nutrition plan will kickstart muscle
synthesis immediately
after exercise and maintain it for several hours post-workout.
To optimize and expedite the recovery process, athletes need to rehydrate and replenish lost stores, with a goal of repleting 100 - 150 % of body mass losses within one hour of
exercise cessation (side note: repleting 150 % may be hard on the stomach for heavy sweaters).1 Endurance athletes especially should replenish with water, sodium, and carbohydrate within the first hour
after exercise to ensure the highest rates of glycogen (our stored energy) resynthesis.15 Recovery drinks with protein have been reported to maximize protein
synthesis rates, consisting of approximately 0.2 — 0.4 g / kg / h protein and 0.8 g / kg / h of carbohydrates.16 Chocolate milk has a nice carbohydrate to protein ratio of 4:1 and is an inexpensive, but still palatable, recovery option.17
Ingestion of approximately 20 g protein during and / or immediately
after exercise is sufficient to maximize post-
exercise muscle protein
synthesis rates.
After your cardio
exercises, protein
synthesis and the body's ability to build muscles will drop.
More interestingly, another study indicated that citrulline malate supplementation increased the rate of oxidative ATP production during
exercise by 34 %, and increased the rate of phosphocreatine recovery
after exercise by 20 % - indicating a large contribution of CM towards ATP
synthesis and energy production.
Leucine regulates translation initiation of protein
synthesis in skeletal muscle
after exercise.
You don't need to eat immediately
after exercise to maximize protein
synthesis (and it might not matter if you did).
Branched - chain amino acids activate key enzymes in protein
synthesis after physical
exercise.
There's also emerging evidence that increased protein
synthesis, rather than decreased protein breakdown, may be the main trigger for muscle growth
after exercise and eating.11 Interestingly, eating protein post-workout doesn't seem to matter for this purpose either.
Mixed muscle protein
synthesis and breakdown
after resistance
exercise in humans.
Consuming carbohydrate within an hour
after exercise also helps to increase protein
synthesis (Gibala, 2000).
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).
