The Claim
Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates and certain molecular responses to exercise are diminished following 10 weeks of training in moderately active men, regardless of exercise modality.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After 10 weeks of working out, men who are already somewhat active don't build muscle as efficiently as before, and their bodies don't respond as strongly to exercise—this happens whether they're doing cardio or weight training.

What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at men who exercised for 10 weeks and found that their muscle-building responses got weaker over time, no matter what type of exercise they did, which matches the claim.
