E15 - Part 1: Pre-sleep protein after exercise with Jorn Trommelen 247MUSCLE

Dr. Jorn Trommelen (Assistant Professor, Department of Human Biology, Maastricht University, The Netherlands) talks about his research on pre-sleep protein ingestion after exercise to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. In the first part, we discuss the different forms of proteins and how endurance vs. resistance training differ in their post-exercise protein demand. Jorn further explains why the sleeping period is actually not so different from the awake period with respect to protein needs. We also dive into the details of the main methodological approaches used in Jorn's group to assess muscle protein synthesis.
