Abstract:

There is little agreement on the best nutritional strategy for optimising muscle and strength gains despite a wide range of dietary habits that have been studied to improve both acute responses and long-term adaptations to resistance training. The body's reaction to weight training is greatly influenced by proper diet. While carbohydrates give you energy for your workouts and help you restore your glycogen levels, protein is essential for both muscle growth and repair. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are also necessary for a number of body processes associated with physical activity. All things considered, a well-balanced diet that includes enough calories, protein, carbs, and healthy fats promotes muscle recovery, lessens discomfort, and improves performance when lifting weights. Through a number of mechanisms involving nutrient availability and uptake into tissues, hormonal secretion and interactions with receptors on target tissues, and gene transcription and translation of proteins that ultimately affect protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, manipulation of exercise and nutritional variables can change events that impact adaptations to training. If the nutrition-mediated post resistance exercise alteration in any of these processes is of sufficient magnitude and duration, then over time an influence of muscle size, strength, and body composition is possible. However, the physiological changes generated by exercise and a modified diet also have the capacity to alter the efficacy and toxicity of various medications, largely by affecting diverse pharmacokinetic pathways. Most studies to date have focused on giving carbohydrates either by themselves or in combination with protein either before or after resistance training. Consuming carbohydrates and proteins has a substantial impact on the hormonal environment (i.e., insulin, testosterone, growth hormone, and cortisol), circulating metabolites, and the reaction of muscle protein and glycogen balance. To help integrate research findings from the existing body of literature and future studies looking at different diet and resistance exercise configurations, the pathway of adaptation is suggested as a model.
