  1. Post Workout Protein & Muscle-Building Research led by Stuart Phillips @ McMaster Universityin 2011 The purpose of the experiment was to compare between consuming a fast absorbing protein (whey) post activity vs slower absorbing protein (Whole foods or casein). Behind the research 2 1 The Setup The Experiment 8 men; mean age: 22 y performed 8 sets of 8-10 repetitions on a leg-extension machine Post activity - same people were given a single dose of whey protein (25 g) immediately after activity or smaller doses (2.5 g) 10 times over an extended period (to emulate slower absorbing protein)( What was measured 3 How quickly protein got absorbed in the muscles. Aka - post exercise muscle protein synthesis 5 The So What This experiment provides validation to bodybuilding‘s number 1 ‘fact’ - post workout Whey Protein is help your muscles growth The Findings 4 Consuming the Protein in one short immediately post workout increased muscle protein synthesis (aka muscle growth) more than the periodic smaller doses Fitness Science Bits - No. 2 www.fitnessdealnews.com Handpicked fitness Deals & Coupons
