Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

There is a growing body of evidence that links nutrition to muscle mass, strength and
function in older adults, suggesting that it has an important role to play both in the prevention …

Key points• A single bolus of∼ 20 g of protein after a bout of resistance exercise provides a
maximal anabolic stimulus during the early post‐exercise recovery period (∼ 5 h), but the …

Despite over 50 years of research, the field of sports nutrition continues to grow at a rapid

Due to improved health care, diet and infrastructure in developed countries, since 1840 life
expectancy has increased by approximately 2 years per decade. Accordingly, by 2050, a …

Skeletal muscle mass is regulated by a balance between muscle protein synthesis (MPS)
and muscle protein breakdown (MPB). In healthy humans, MPS is more sensitive (varying 4 …
