Many people believe there is a window of time about 30 - 60 minutes after you exercise in which your body is primed to utilize protein and stimulate muscle growth. This period is referred to as the anabolic window of opportunity. in fact, some have claimed that when you eat is more important to muscle growth and adaptation tan how much you eat. But is you miss this window, does that mean your workout was for nothing? In this episode of the podcast, I look at a new and compelling study co-authored by Brad Schoenfeld Ph.D. (a leading authority on muscle building and fat loss) thats puts that anabolic window of opportunity to the test and shows that the window of time may not be as narrow as we think.
Study
Pre- versus post-exercise protein intake has similar effects on muscular adaptations
