• Counteracting anabolic resistance for the aging athlete

  

  Some level of anabolic resistance generally occurs with aging, typically around the age of 40. Meaning, it might take more of a given nutrient or stimulus to yield the anabolic response (e.g. building muscle tissue) as it did when you were younger. So how much protein do Master’s athletes need to offset the anabolic resistance…

• Are BCAAs worth the hype?

  

  Provided an athlete is ingesting adequate protein in their diet and eating high-quality proteins that provide all EAAs, there should be a sufficient amount of BCAAs available in the AA pool for the body to use when needed. In theory, supplementing with BCAA during endurance efforts could support BCAA oxidation, possibly delaying fatigue and improving…
