Nutrient availability and exercise training are two potent modulators of skeletal muscle adaptation. While the effects of nutrient provision or training alone on muscle adaptation have been well researched, the interactive effects of these two stressors on skeletal muscle adaptation are less well understood, especially in well-trained athletes. Furthermore, until recently, the mechanisms that underlie the changes in muscle metabolism that result from this nutrient-training interaction are largely unknown. Accordingly, the primary aim of the studies undertaken in this book was to enhance our...
