Cover Story: Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a desired outcome for individuals participating in resistance exercise training. Successive acute bouts of resistance exercise combined with protein intake creates a favourable environment for muscle growth by robustly stimulating rates of muscle protein synthesis. However, only a small fraction of ingested protein is deposited into contractile skeletal muscle, a factor that is dependent on the type and dose of protein consumed. This critical review discusses these issues as well as other contemporary literature related to protein metabolism following exercise in human skeletal muscle. View this paper.
