Does protein supplementation enhance muscle mass gains during resistance training?
Protein provides the necessary building blocks (amino acids) for muscle growth. Protein directly stimulates muscle protein synthesis (building muscle proteins from amino acids).

Do cold water baths decrease muscle mass gains?
Cold water/ice baths and cryotherapy are very popular among athletes to reduce muscle soreness after a heavy training session. While these strategies might reduce muscle soreness, it has been suggested that they possibly lower the adaptive response to training.

Can the processing of milk protein lower its quality?
Milk is often heated to increase its microbiological safety and shelf life, or to make specific milk-based products (such as infant formulas and protein supplements).

We have published an open-access review on how to eat to optimize muscle protein synthesis. Click here to read it.
In this post, we share some of the content we made based on this review. It’s a bit more reader-friendly than our scientific paper.
