a Mean ± SD (n = 10). Mixed-muscle protein synthesis responses to whole-body exercise plus post exercise recovery feeding with WHEY, EAA + W, and MEAL intake during energy deficit. No difference between treatments (P = 0.68). b Mean ± SD (n = 10). Relative mixed-muscle protein synthesis responses, expressed relative to study treatment energy, to whole-body exercise plus post exercise recovery feeding with WHEY, EAA + W, and MEAL intake during energy deficit. Different lowercase letters indicate difference between treatment (both, P < 0.05)
