Coingestion of Carbohydrate and Protein Hydrolysate Stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis during Exercise in Young Men, with No Further Increase during Subsequent Overnight Recovery
Combining carbohydrate and protein during exercise boosts muscle growth in young men, but does not increase it more during overnight recovery

Abstract
Whole-body protein synthesis increased by 19% during recovery with carbohydrate and protein co-ingestion compared to water.
- During exercise, whole-body and muscle protein synthesis rates increased by 29% and 48%, respectively, with carbohydrate and protein co-ingestion.
- Fractional synthetic rates during exercise were 0.083%/h in the carbohydrate and protein group, compared to 0.056%/h in the water group.
- Ingestion of protein with carbohydrate improved whole-body protein synthesis during and immediately after exercise.
- Mean muscle protein synthesis rates during 9 hours of overnight recovery were similar between the two groups.
- Protein and carbohydrate supplementation may stimulate muscle protein synthesis even when the body is fed.
