Protein intake for recovery -
Hard run. Within 30 minutes: g. Eat: Wholewheat pitta with 75g peanut butter or ml chocolate milk blended with a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Easy run. Within 30 minutes: 10g.
Eat: g Greek yoghurt, with a piece of fruit and honey for carbs. You still need protein on easy days about three miles or rest days. Lower your intake to 0.
Rest of the day. Every three to five hours: g, across remaining meals and snacks. Eat: g lean beef, 95g quinoa, ¼ avocado and g broccoli; g grilled chicken topped with 10 olives, g brown rice and side salad; g tofu, g brown rice, ¼ avocado and sautéed veg in 2 tsp of olive oil. You want to spread the rest of your protein intake across remaining meals and snacks to ensure your body is able to absorb all the amino acids that build and repair muscles, says Collingwood.

In the current study, participants consumed 0. Of the EAAs, L-leucine has been proposed to have significant influence on protein synthesis [ 30 , 31 ] following resistance training which in the current study was the dominant amino acid provided per serve.
Current evidence infers that acute essential amino acid feeding may likely inactivate the tublerosclerosis complex, particularly tuberin TSC2 leading to activation of mTOR and PDK1 pathways.
This has bearing on key regulatory proteins during the initiation phase of myofibrillar resynthesis including: eukaryotic initiation factor 2 eIF2 , 4E binding proteins and the protein kinase S6 K1 [ 32 ].
Minimising nutrient deprivation pre-exercise, and acute refeeding post exercise may therefore be required for maximal recovery gains particularly when training frequency is considered. A possible reason why a recent meta-analysis [ 3 ] on this subject did not find any beneficial effect of nutrient timing is that the majority of included studies were performed on untrained individuals.
Additionally, in the majority of studies included in the meta-analyses, protein intakes as well as protein timing were not matched between the treatment and control groups.
It has been previously described that exercise intensity may alter protein requirements for athletes [ 33 ]. The exercise protocol applied in this study presented a realistic scenario of how strength athletes, especially powerlifters, train.
Our study used a whole-body workout on three consecutive days in contrast to previous research [ 4 ] using a lower body protocol, in which an intense leg workout with 3 exercises was performed on the first day and then only the squat exercise on the following testing days.
Additionally, we did not limit the repetition number to only 10 repetitions for each set, but encouraged the subjects to continue until volitional exhaustion which permitted a more intensive protocol over the testing days. The increased difficulty level and muscle damaging potential of our exercise protocol was reflected in the CK values, which were ~4-times as high as previously reported [ 4 ] and exceeded the physiological range at T2 and T3.
Elevated CK values 24 h or more after intense exercise have also been observed in previous research [ 4 , 6 , 34 , 35 ]. Analogue to previous investigations [ 4 ], perceived muscle soreness was not significantly different between dietary conditions, despite earlier recorded onset of muscle soreness for PRO HIGH at T2 and T3.
This finding was unsurprising considering CK values were not significantly different between conditions, indicating that any myofibrillar damage due to the exercise protocol may have been comparable between dietary strategies. Surprisingly, however, the exercise protocol did not influence TNF-α values.
Previous studies implementing heavy lower body exercise protocols with resistance-trained individuals observed an increase in TNF-α immediately after exercise [ 5 , 6 ]. In contrast, one research study measuring TNF-α response after an eccentric arm exercise protocol failed to observe significant changes in TNF-α [ 36 ].
The reason for this discrepancy may be that strenuous training of a smaller muscle group was not sufficient to elicit the same level of inflammatory response compared to larger muscle groups.
Overall, performance repetition scores across each testing day were not significantly different between dietary conditions. However, it is noteworthy that within condition lower body performance was maintained with PRO HIGH. In comparison, within condition only, squat performance significantly declined by T3 with PRO MOD despite no differences in overall number of repetitions performed throughout the assessment period between conditions: Aligned with this, a significant interaction effect was found for bioelectrical impedance PhA, with values increasing at T3 for PRO HIGH in contrast to PRO MOD.
The results may indicate that a PRO HIGH approach during repeated days of intensive exercise could support training maintenance pertinent to lower body exercise.
Previous research has shown that participation in a prolonged resistance training program is associated with an increase in PhA [ 40 ].
The mean PhA for athletes training for strength and power has also been reported to be higher than endurance athletes 8. To our knowledge, this is the first report of short-term changes in PhA as a result of repeated days of intensive resistance exercise coupled with modified protein intake.
However, such findings should be interpreted with caution in light of the lack of significant differences between dietary groups for performance repetition scores and biomarkers of muscle damage. Additionally, such findings may only be applicable to strength-trained athletes, and may not necessarily apply to other sporting disciplines in which athletes train multiple times a day including sport specific and resistance training.
A further explanation for the lack of significant differences between dietary strategies for repetition performance may have been individual variability, which appeared to be particularly pronounced between men and women as reported elsewhere [ 42 , 43 ].
a specific training protocol. However, as it was noted that within group, lower body repetition performance significantly declined with PRO MOD by the end of the assessment along with reported differences in phase angle between dietary conditions , a lower protein intake may have resulted in further performance decrements.
Future research on short-term lower protein intakes may be warranted to confirm this. It is acknowledged that the acute nature of the dietary interventions and short-term cross over period may be study limitations. As participants in this study were experienced resistance-trained individuals who typically consumed protein intakes ~2.
The dietary lead-in period prior to each assessment phase was therefore deemed satisfactory. Participants were tested under the same conditions across assessment days, with peri-exercise protein intake and timing controlled for. Prior to each laboratory visit, participants were requested to maintain similar dietary patterns ensuring they were acutely fasted before arrival h.
However, individual variance in postprandial nutrient availability may have influenced study findings. Assessment in a longer term post-absorptive or overnight fasted state may have presented clearer findings.
However, not only did our participants effectively act as their own controls by maintaining eating patterns prior to testing, but intensive training in an overnight fasted state may not have been realistic for such individuals.
Given that our sample size exceeded the a priori power analysis requirement of 10 subjects and that there was no significant effect between dietary conditions on any of the outcome measures except phase angle , it is unlikely that the sample size masked a large effect of protein intake. Future research should consider evaluation of specific gender differences and overall training experience which may likely be confounding variables when assessing the impact of protein intake on recovery.
A short term PRO HIGH diet did not improve markers of muscle damage or soreness following repeated days of intensive training when daily calorie and peri-exercise protein intake was controlled for. The findings from this study indicate that moderate protein intakes 1. However, equivocally it is noteworthy that lower body exercise performance and bioelectrical phase angle were maintained with PRO HIGH.
Longer term interventions are therefore warranted to determine whether PRO MOD intakes are indeed sufficient during prolonged training periods or when extensive exercise e. training twice daily is undertaken with resistance-trained individuals.

However, no apparent differences existed in the outcomes of included or excluded trials. Furthermore, when sample size was not reported for each variable and time-point, a consistent sample size was assumed, which if inaccurate could alter true effects. Variables with different assessment methods e.
This review considered only four variables, thus providing scope for future meta-analyses to examine protein supplementation effects on other markers of EIMD. Moreso, due to its large-scale, this review did not consider amino acid-based supplements, which may offer beneficial sub-analysis.
The limited understanding of the impact of protein supplementation for resistance EIMD management in females should be addressed by conducting high-quality research with females or both sexes.
Additional investigation of various protein types particularly plant-based , timing, and dosing strategies would help inform protein nutrition guidelines for EIMD management. Establishing optimal methods for assessing EIMD in experimental models requires investigation, as methodological inconsistencies across current studies are hindering knowledge progression of EIMD mechanisms and management strategies.
To benefit future research, standardised methodologies e. Where feasible, cross-over designs with sufficient wash-out period and, when relevant, unilateral limb models should be employed to limit heterogeneity.
Furthermore, data reporting and transparency issues are limiting study inclusion in meta-analyses and obstructing accurate and representative conclusions being drawn. Accordingly, a framework is proposed outlining data reporting guidance to increase inclusion of primary data in meta-analyses Table 3.
This systematic review with meta-analysis demonstrated that, in young males, peri-exercise protein consumption reduces maximal strength decrements and lowers [CK] following acute resistance exercise but does not benefit muscle soreness.
These outcomes are seemingly unaffected by the type, timing, frequency, and dose of ingested protein, though may be affected by the exercise protocol and sample training status, with further examination required.
This review identified an absence of female-focussed research and a limited number of studies examining plant-based protein sources, which warrants future research priority. Developing evidence-based EIMD management strategies is impeded by methodological inconsistencies across studies, particularly pertaining to EIMD assessment methods.
This review highlights the need for standardised and transparent data reporting in EIMD research and proposes a guiding framework. All data synthesised are presented within the manuscript or are available from the corresponding author upon request.
