Abstract

Muscle Kinetics and Exercise: Any Advantages of Dietary Proteins

Highlights

Exercise-induced skeletal muscle injury manifests in the minutes to days following an acute exercise bout and is accompanied by several signs including muscle pain, delayed-onset muscle soreness and impaired physical performance
Aerobic exercise can cause muscle damage, the extent of damage is often less with lower intensity and longer duration aerobic training sessions in comparison to higher intensity shorter duration resistance exercise bouts [21]
While some studies consider protein intakes above the recommendations for the general population 0.8 g/kg/day crucial for individuals engaged in physical activity and exercise [24,25,26], others are convinced that those individuals are just required to adopt a well-balanced diet adequate to meet their protein needs that match those of the general population [27]

Summary

Introduction

Amino acid transport across the sarcolemma [19] and intracellular availability of amino acids [20] were reported to control muscle protein synthesis. Exercise-induced skeletal muscle injury manifests in the minutes to days following an acute exercise bout and is accompanied by several signs including muscle pain, delayed-onset muscle soreness and impaired physical performance.
