Uncertainty about pre‑ versus post‑exercise protein ingestion effects on MPS in older adults

Determine whether consuming caseinate protein before versus after resistance exercise differentially affects myofibrillar and mixed muscle protein synthesis in older adults.

Background

Some studies in older adults report no difference between pre‑ and post‑exercise caseinate ingestion for early recovery MPS, yet the authors note uncertainty regarding timing effects. Clarifying timing‑specific responses would refine practical recommendations.
