Abstract
The present study examined the myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) response following an acute bout of resistance exercise (RE) in the untrained (UT) and trained (T) state to determine its association with hypertrophy in a female population. Ten recreationally active young females underwent ~9 wk of whole-body resistance training (RT). Whole-body fat free mass (FFM), vastus lateralis muscle thickness (MT) and 1RM strength were measured in the UT and T state. MyoPS was measured at 0 and 48 h post-RE following the first and final bout of RE using D2O. Following RT, there was a ~3.4% and ~8.8% increase in FFM (P
