The Claim
Resistance training reduces the acute protein synthesis response of non-myofibrillar proteins while maintaining myofibrillar protein synthesis, indicating a refinement of the exercise stimulus toward contractile protein production.
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.
When you do strength training, your body gets better at building the proteins that make muscles strong, while cutting back on making other less important proteins. It's like your body learns to focus on what really matters for muscle power.
See the scientific wording
Resistance training modifies the acute protein synthesis response to exercise by reducing synthesis of non-myofibrillar proteins while maintaining myofibrillar protein synthesis, suggesting a refinement of the exercise stimulus toward contractile protein production.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Fasted‐state skeletal muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise is altered with training
The study found that after training, muscles get better at building the parts that make them strong (myofibrillar proteins) while reducing extra protein building, which matches the claim exactly.
