HIIT and EAA supplementation: Effects on muscle characteristics and whole‐body protein turnover

8wks of HIIT improved thigh LM size and quality. EAA may support greater increases over time. Benefits in men and women. https://t.co/bWJ97aQqd4

Protein supplementation reduces muscle atrophy after surgery 🩼

This new meta-analysis compiled data from 19 studies (903 patients) to establish the effects of…

👉 oral or intravenous protein/amino acid supplementation 👈

…in patients undergoing joint replacement surgery 👩‍⚕️

Here are the key findings ⬇️

🥤 Protein supplementation significantly reduced muscle loss in both quadriceps and hamstrings

👉 Additional effects on intramuscular adipose tissue, muscle thickness and muscle strength were inconsistent

🩸 Intravenous amino acid infusion improved muscle protein synthesis and reduced perioperative blood loss

The average supplementation period across interventions was 55-days 🗓️

Protein supplementation around surgery (pre- and post-) can significantly reduce muscle loss ✅

This is of particular importance for older individuals and athletes, but is important for all going under the knife 🔪

📢📢BIG NEWS TO SHARE!! We've been working on this for a while and I can finally say that @UofSCExSci and @USCArnoldSchool officially have an ACCREDITED MS program in PERFORMANCE NUTRITION AND DIETETICS! We are one of only a few Performance Nutrition MS/RD programs in the entire country. It will launch this Fall and we are now accepting applications for the first cohort. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this a reality. This was one of my main initiatives when I accepted the role as Department Chair, so I'm pretty stoked we pulled this off!
