Effect of Nutrition on Muscle Protein Synthesis

The Effect of Carbohydrate and Protein Intake on Muscle Protein Synthesis During Endurance Exercise

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• recreationally endurance trained

Exclusion Criteria:

• BMI > 25 kg/m2
• Not physically active
