Answers true
A single bout of resistance exercise results in the acute
stimulation of MPS above baseline values. MPS may remain
elevated for approximately as long as _____ post exercise.
Correct Answers 24-48 hours
A single dose of beetroot juice ________ during submaximal
exercise and _________ time trial performance of trained
cyclists in normobaric hypoxia Correct Answers Lowers
oxygen uptake, enhances
,According to Moore et al., what are the differences in
myofibrillar protein synthesis in older versus younger
individuals after consuming protein Correct Answers Older
individuals (71yrs) are less sensitive to protein intake vis a vis
MPS than young individuals (22yrs)
according to research, 4-5 months of weight training or 8 weeks
of cycling training can increase glycogen stores in the muscle by
nearly 36% Correct Answers true
According to research, athletes consuming vegetarian diets
relative to athletes consuming meat-based protein diets are more
likely to have Correct Answers lower total body creatine levels
According to the work of Antonio et al., what changes are seen
with a high protein diet combined with a periodized resistance
training program Correct Answers A higher protein diet
promotes an increase in LBM and drop in fat mass when
combined with a traditional bodybuilding training routine. Even
the lower protein group still increased in LBM but had no fat
mass change

bolus of ingested whey protein Correct Answers ingestion of
40g of whey following whole body resistance training promotes
greater MPS than 20g in young trained men

maximal fat oxidation in athletes Correct Answers Mean MFO
=0.59 g/min
, MFO was higher in females than males when expressed per unit
FFM (11 vs. 10mg/kg/min)
Soccer players were the highest in this group (10.8mg/kg/min)

when consumed: Correct Answers with protein immediately
post-exercise
Adipose tissue may serve as an endocrine organ in our body.

skeletal muscle? Correct Answers adipocytokines
After a bout of high intensity exercise that lasts for 60 minutes,
in order to achieve maximal protein synthesis, it would be
optimal for the athlete to Correct Answers drink whey protein
combined with milk
Alpha-GPC ergogenic benefit: Correct Answers may improve
