Q

How does RE increase muscle mass

Increases muscle sensitivity
-MPB Breakdown = Same but increase MPS
-increease muscle working towards that area

Q

MPS is elevated how many hours following the cessation of resistance exercise

Study These Flashcards
A

48 hours for it to not show synthesis anymore with the effects of RE

25
What protein source is the best??
Full components of AA, WHEY
26
What is in whey
EAA, BCAA and NEAA
27
Should a person consume BCAA and WHEY
No just Whey BCAA just peed out
28
Optimal protein dose (grams)
20g every 3 hours Muscle no longer at saturation so you can actually get gains from protein (not wasted)
29
10 g of protien every how many hours
1.5h
30
20g of protein how many hours?
3 hours
31
40 grams of protein every how many hours?
6 hours
32
Research with 20g and 40g having the same gains research?
Did solely leg extensions Type of exercise matters -Whole body exercise = protein requirements go up
33
How many protein g/kg for meals
0.3 g/kg 4 times a day
34
We are in a negative or positive state of protein balance when we are asleep
Negative more breakdown then synthesis
35
How to counter the negative protein balance of sleep
0.4 g/kg before bed
36
How much protein in g/kg/day
1.6g/kg/day
37
Endurance exercise how much protein during meals?
0.5 g/kg x4
38
What is digestibility?
How efficiently the body can extract nutrients from the ingested food
39
What percentage of nutrients is metabolized?
90%
40
What percentage of nutrients is excreted?
10%
41
Plant-based protein or animal based protein are less digestible
Plant Based proteins
42
What does it mean for a protein to be less digestible?
Greater proportion of nutrients are not being absorbed and utilized by the body
43
Do Plant-Based Proteins and Animal-Based Protein have the same amounts of AA content
No, Plant-Based proteins tend to have lower AA content ESPECIALLY LEUCINE
44
To have the same amount of leucine from wehy then there is for wheat how much more what do you need?
Almost double 35 g of Whey = 60 g of Wheat
45
35 g of whey protein is how much leucine
4.4
46
35 g of casein protein is how much leucine
3.2
47
35 g of wheat protein is how much leucine
2.5
48
60 g of wheat protein is how much leucine
4.4
49
35 g of whey protein is how much EAA
16.6
50
35 g of casein protein is how much EAA
14.9
51
35 g of wheat protein is how much EAA
9.9
52
60 g of wheat protein is how much EAA
17.0
53
How to ensure you get all your AA? Type of protein matters
Use protien blends Pea has one type of AA Brown rice has another type of AA Healthy mixed diet
54
How much chicken to get 1.6g/kg/day for a 80 kg female
4.15 servings ~31g protein/100g serving Cost: $7.30 (%1.76/100g serving)
55
How much tofu to get 1.6g/kg/day for a 80 kg female
16 Servings ~8g protein/100g serving $12.32 ($0.77/100g serving)
56
During a negative energy balance up to what percentage of body mass loss can be lean tissue?
30%
57
What are the 6 reasons protein is the macronutrient of choice?
1)Thermogenic Effects 2)May promote fat loss 3)Increased satiety 4)Poor lipogenic substrate 5)Nutrient Dense 6) Preserves lean tissue
58
Glucose oxidation increases with protein or fat rich meals
Increases with protein Decreases with fat
59
True or False high protein intake during energy deficit and intense exercise training promotes muscle gain
True
