Abstract

Protein is a critical macronutrient for muscle repair, recovery, and growth in resistance-trained athletes. This paper explores the optimal protein intake required to enhance recovery and maximize muscle adaptation. The role of protein timing, quality, and distribution throughout the day is examined, along with the impact of different protein sources. A review of empirical studies highlights the recommended intake levels and their effects on muscle recovery post-exercise. Additionally, the influence of factors such as training intensity, age, and total caloric intake is discussed. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for athletes and coaches on optimizing protein consumption to enhance muscle recovery.
