Key points •  A single bolus of ∼20 g of protein after a bout of resistance exercise provides a maximal anabolic stimulus during the early post‐exercise recovery period (∼5 h), but the effect of various protein feeding strategies on skeletal muscle protein synthesis during an extended recovery perio...
