Masters athletes take longer to recover from high intensity exercise than training- matched younger athletes. Does increased protein intake enhance recovery?

Introduction: Masters athletes (MA) undertaking high intensity exercise recover muscular performance at rates similar to younger athletes (YA) following fatiguing, non–muscle damaging exercise such as cycling. However, following exercise–induced muscle damage from running, MA take longer than YA to recover. Older untrained adults exhibit age–related anabolic resistance to skeletal muscle repair and remodeling. We examined whether this anabolic...
