Do you really need more protein if you exercise? Report uri icon

abstract

  • Protein is often thought to be a workout necessity, the essential complement to every gym bag. Missing protein during the post-workout anabolic window is viewed as unfortunate, if not detrimental to ones training goals. However, the scientific literature on this subject isnt quite so black and white. New methods of measuring protein synthesis may challenge the high-protein paradigm among active individuals and athletes, giving rise to a more optimal diet to enhance performance.
