The effect of protein timing on muscle strength and hypertrophy: a meta-analysis
Abstract
Protein timing is a popular dietary strategy designed to optimize the adaptive response to exercise. The strategy
involves consuming protein in and around a training session in an effort to facilitate muscular repair and remodeling, and thereby enhance post-exercise strength- and hypertrophy-related adaptations. Despite the apparent
biological plausibility of the strategy, however, the effectiveness of protein timing in chronic training studies has been decidedly mixed. The purpose of this paper ...

Editorial: Nutritional Strategies to Promote Muscle Mass and Function Across the Health Span
Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue, able to remodel in response to its physical demands.
This includes growth (i.e., hypertrophy) in response to the application of external forces (e.g., exercise) and loss (i.e., atrophy) in response to the withdrawal of these forces (e.g., detraining, immobilization). Given its central role in converting chemical energy to mechanical work, skeletal muscle is unquestionably important for individuals wishing to excel in athletic competition, effectively ...
