Infographics

Infographics are a great way of making complex scientific research easier to understand and digest.

Tom creates infographics in his spare time to promote science-based education regarding the fields

of nutrition, training, performance and health, making research more accessible to the general public

with interests in those areas.

The infographics are also posted on the TEC Nutrition social media pages but on this dedicated page

you can search for specific topic using the search by tags list below.

Pre- versus post-exercise protein intake has similar effects on muscular adaptations

Both pre- and post-workout protein feedings lead to similar changes in body composition and strength in resistance-trained males 🏋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Brand new study from Schoenfeld and colleagues (2017) (including Alan Aragon & James Krieger) showing that the anabolic window of opportunity to maximise muscular responses to resistance training, is not as important as once considered 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When objectively looking at the data, it could be argued that immediately consuming prote

Considerations for Post-Exercise Protein Feeding

There are 3 primary considerations for augmenting resistance-training adaptations through post-exercise protein feeding 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whilst it is important to achieve these targets for MAXIMISING adaptations to training e.g. muscle hypertrophy, ensuring you have a solid training program should be the central concern 🏋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can read the full text of the review by Morton et al (2015) here: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fphys.2015.00245/full 👈 #po

20g vs. 40g Post-Exercise Whey Protein

40g of whey protein trumps 20g post-workout 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Great study by the research group at Stirling University showing that 40g of whey protein stimulates a significantly greater muscle protein synthetic response after a whole body workout, compared to 20g 👈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For a while the research seemed to show that 20g of whey protein optimised muscle protein synthesis post-workout. However, as seen here that doesn't seem to be the case in resistance trained males after
