There aren't many pediatric exercise articles that are actually written for pediatric populations. That's why we wrote our newest article in @FrontYoungMinds : "Get Lifting - Strength Training for Children" https://t.co/LgroUfo0Ko

Strength training programs for children have become very popular. But is strength training safe and helpful in making children stronger and healthier? In this article, we discuss why and how this...

Muscle protein synthesis in response to plant-based protein isolates with and without added leucine versus whey protein in young men and women Great work from our team @ChanghyunLim1 @james_mckendry @sidasawan @mackinprof

Plant-based protein supplements often contain lower amounts of leucine and other essential amino acids (EAAs), potentially making them less effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS)...

Frequency isn’t the main driver of exercise adaptations. But that doesn’t mean it’s not important. Here’s 3 reasons why the “how often” part of the exercise equation matters:

a few thoughts @drdairy50 This is a good study showing that in young adults (32 yr old), meal distribution is less important than total daily protein intake (90g/d). Meal distribution has ONLY been shown to be important in adults >50 yrs. Other points below:
RCT: 16 weeks of even protein distribution (30g 🥛/meal 3 times/day) vs. skewed distribution with protein at the evening (10/15/65g 🥛/meal) has no effect on body composition:
