PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
• Consume protein after exercise to maximize protein synthesis
and promote adaptation.
• Liquid forms of protein are best due to their rapid digestion rate.
• Rapidly digested proteins are best with isolated proteins such as
whey, milk proteins, or soy appearing to be most efficient.
• Whey protein, due to its leucine content, represents, on a
per g basis, the best protein source to stimulate new muscle
protein synthesis.
