Figure 1. Muscle protein synthesis (FSR).

Figure 1

Male (open bar) and female (closed bar) fractional synthesis rates (FSR) following an overnight fast (baseline) and the average FSR for the 2 hours following heavy resistance exercise (post-exercise recovery). Each subject performed 10 sets of 10 repetitions of bilateral knee extension in the seated position. Data are expressed as mean ± SE (N=9 men; N=8 women); *P<0.05 vs. Baseline.
