weight training

Her glowing, tanned skin shows off each of her well-defined muscle lines, the result of hours of weight training in the gym.

She had to learn how to walk again, run again, jump again, often rising two hours before her teammates so that she could get the work in on the anti-gravity machine and other weight training devices that would put her one step closer to playing again after a devastating knee injury.

A new study examined how muscles respond to weight training when people eat different types of pork afterward.

One earlier experiment showed that eating whole eggs after weight training led to greater muscle-protein synthesis than eating the same amount of protein from egg whites alone.

Although weight training boosted muscle-protein synthesis in the groups eating pork, the protein in the high-fat burger seemed to have no added benefit in the hours after participants consumed it, while the protein in the lean pork gave muscle-protein synthesis a boost.
