Co-ingestion of carbohydrates and protein during post-exercise may confer additional benefits, including positive nitrogen balance leading to increased whole-body muscle protein synthesis, increased protein content related to mitochondrial biogenesis, reduced muscle damage markers, and accelerated post-exercise rehydration.
“it may confer additional benefits, including positive nitrogen balance leading to increased whole-body muscle protein synthesis [93], increased protein content related to mitochondrial biogenesis [94], reduced muscle damage markers [95], and accelerated post-exercise rehydration [96]”

“Additionally, within the last decade attention has been given to protein (PRO), due to its possible role in maximizing the adaptational responses to endurance training (3), similarly to enhanced protein intake has been shown to improve adaptations to resistance training (4).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
