Characterisation of the Muscle Protein Synthetic Response to Resistance Exercise in Healthy Adults: A Systematic Review and Exploratory Meta-Analysis

Figure 2

Overview of the covariates analysed and their putative effect on the acute muscle protein synthesis (MPS, % h⁻¹) to resistance exercise, postabsorptive state. ECC, eccentric; CON, concentric; ISO, isometric muscle action. Grey shading indicates supporting evidence; no shading indicates an absence of, or limited, supporting evidence. N.b., absence of evidence is not evidence of absence; figure does not include composite, extraneous, or interaction between covariates; quality and quantity of supporting evidence varies between covariates.
