Summary
The present proposal is designed to examine the effect of carbohydrate and protein
co-ingestion on muscle protein synthesis during endurance type exercise activities. We
hypothesize that muscle protein synthesis is higher when protein is co-ingested during
exercise.
Clinical Details
Official title: The Effect of Carbohydrate and Protein Intake on Muscle Protein Synthesis During Endurance Exercise
Study design: Basic Science, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Placebo Control, Crossover Assignment
Primary outcome: Differences in muscle protein synthesis rates between carbohydrate and carbohydrate + protein.
Secondary outcome: Difference in whole-body protein synthesis and breakdown between carbohydrate and carbohydrate plus protein.
