What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Muscle protein fractional synthetic rate following protein ingestion
Time Frame: 3 hours
The ability of the muscle to synthesise new proteins will be assessed over a 3 h period following protein ingestion and will be compared between groups. This only occurs on one occasion.
3 hours
