Values are means ± SE. Muscle amino acid concentrations taken at baseline (1 h Pre-Ex), before exercise but following nutrient ingestion in the EAA+CHO group (Pre-Ex), immediately following exercise (Post-Ex), and during postexercise recovery (1 h Post-Ex and 2 h Post-Ex).
*
P < 0.05 vs. 1 h Pre-Ex.
†
P < 0.05 vs. fasting at respective study period.
