Table 1.

Exercise performance recovery effect sizes: REx + CHO vs. REx + PRO.

	Cohen Effect Size		Probability of Protein Superiority
Outcome	10 h recovery	24 h recovery	10 h recovery	24 h recovery
Protein metabolism
Net protein balance	0.61	0.69	67%	69%
Knee extension
Peak isometric force	0.28	0.76	58%	70%
Repetitions to failure	0.11	0.44	53%	62%
Wingate test
Peak power	0.27	0.55	58%	65%
Mean power	0.49	0.12	64%	53%

Unless indicated otherwise, effect sizes were calculated as the mean difference between PRO and CHO divided by the standard deviation (SD) of Rest (control) [40]. The thresholds for Small, Moderate and Large effect sizes are 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8, respectively. [39]. Probability of protein superiority: the percent chance that a value from PRO will be greater than CHO, calculated as % = φ (d/$\sqrt{2}$), where φ is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution, and d is the Cohen Effect Size [42]; 50% = no effect. REx = whole body resistance exercise.
