Does Casein Protein Overnight Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial work?

The current Migaku evidence database contains 2 reusable source documents for Casein Protein Overnight Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial. This answer focuses on strength of evidence and what the studies can or cannot prove. - Background Casein protein ingestion prior to sleep has been shown to increase myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during overnight sleep. [Trommelen J (2023); evidence level 2] - It remains to be assessed whether pre-sleep protein ingestion can also increase mitochondrial protein synthesis rates. [Trommelen J (2023); evidence level 2] - Results Resistance exercise resulted in higher connective tissue protein synthesis rates when compared with rest (0.086 ± 0.017%·h [EX] and 0.080 ± 0.019%·h [EX + PRO] vs 0.059 ± 0.016%·h [PRO]; P Conclusion Resistance exercise increases intramuscular connective tissue protein synthesis rates during overnight sleep, with no further effect of postexercise protein ingestion. [Trommelen J (2020); evidence level 4] - Purpose This study aimed to assess the effect of dietary protein ingestion on intramuscular connective tissue protein synthesis rates during overnight recovery from a single bout of resistance exercise. [Trommelen J (2020); evidence level 4] - Methods Thirty-six healthy, young males were randomly assigned to one of three treatments. [Trommelen J (2020); evidence level 4] Evidence levels are sorting aids, not final clinical grades. Level 1 usually indicates systematic-review style evidence, level 2 indicates randomized trials or public-health guidance, and lower levels need more cautious wording. This page is educational.
