Protein Part 1 W8

Question 1

What is only required to increase muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise?

Answer 1

Essential Amino Acids

Question 2

What creates greater muscle protein synthesis- Post-exercise milk or soy protein?

Answer 2

Milk consumption

Question 3

Why is whey more effective than other protein?

Answer 3

It contains greater proportions of essential amino acids (leucine content)
It has superior absorption and digestion kinetics

Question 4

What does milk consist off?

Answer 4

Casein protein
20% whey protein

What has a greater abundance of EAA’s, whey or casein protein?

Answer 5

Whey protein

Question 6

What protein is leucine greatest in?

Answer 6

Whey protein

Question 7

What is leucine important for?

Answer 7

Most important for being:
A signal
An substrate during muscle protein synthesis

Question 8

What essential amino acid is vital for protein synthesis?

Answer 8

Leucine

Question 9

How can slow protein be useful?

Answer 9

Muscle remodelling
(Digestion over night)

Question 10

What does pre-consumption of caesin before sleep do to muscle fibre cross-sectional area?

Answer 10

Increase it 2-fold greater

Question 11

What type of protein supports adaptive muscle remodelling goals?

Answer 11

Slow digested and absorbed protein (soy, caesin)

Question 12

When is protein re-synthesis greatest during consumption?

Answer 12

During an intermediate protocol
(every 3-4 hours)
