Acute Response of Skeletal Muscle to
Resistance Exercise:
• Increase skeletal muscle protein synthesis above resting
values for at least 48 hours (Phillips et al. Am. J. Physiol. 273:E99-E107, 1997)
• Increase in muscle protein breakdown which can last 24
to 48 hours (Phillips et al. 1997).
• In the absence of nutrient intake, skeletal muscle can
remain in a state of negative muscle net balance for 48
hours (Phillips et al. 1997; Biolo et al. 1995).
Side Note:
• Muscle Protein Balance (MPB) = Protein Synthesis – Protein Breakdown.
