The Benefits of Essential Amino Acids Before Training
Taking essential amino acids before resistance exercise can lead to better stimulation of muscle protein synthesis. Combining essential amino acids with blood flow restriction training can result in a bigger pool of essential amino acids in the muscles during training. Essential amino acids can stave off fatigue, reduce post-exercise soreness, and improve recovery times during endurance training. Consistent exercise combined with essential amino acid intake can sensitize skeletal muscle to the anabolic effects of essential amino acids, leading to faster gains. High-intensity interval training in a fed state with increased protein availability can enhance muscle hypertrophy and mitochondrial biogenesis.
