Description
Join us on "In the Zone" as we dive into the world of nighttime nutrition and its impact on muscle recovery. Discover how pre-sleep protein intake can supercharge muscle growth and endurance training.In this groundbreaking study, we unveil how consuming protein before bedtime stimulates myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis during overnight recovery, benefiting athletes, especially those in endurance training.The study also challenges the preference for slow-digesting casein by showing that both casein and whey protein lead to significant muscle protein synthesis gains before sleep.Furthermore, this research pioneers evidence of pre-sleep protein's modulation of post-exercise mitochondrial protein synthesis, potentially enhancing endurance and muscle mass.While this study shows promise, it's essential to note that not all previous research aligns with these findings, leaving room for further explorationStudy Link: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.21.545949v2 Stay In the Zone
