Protein requirement:
The concept of protein distribution suggests that how you distribute your meals throughout 24 hours strongly impacts your overall anabolism.
It is generally accepted that a single bolus of 20 g protein results in a near-max stimulation of muscle protein synthesis in healthy young adults.
The ketogenic diet restricts carbohydrates with the purpose of lowering insulin levels. Insulin is a hormone that is involved in fat metabolism. Therefore, some suggest that a ketogenic diet is very effective for fat loss.
We have previously shown that pre-sleep protein ingestion improves overnight myofibrillar protein synthesis. 
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. An effective treatment is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which lowers testosterone levels to castration levels. However, such low testosterone levels tend to result in a loss of muscle mass and strength.
Exercise and protein ingestion are the main factors that stimulate muscle protein synthesis (the main process driving muscle adaptations such as growth). 
Muscle growth occurs when muscle protein synthesis exceeds muscle protein breakdown. Resistance exercise stimulates both muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. Ingestion of protein further increases muscle protein synthesis and is needed to achieve positive protein net balance. 
Aging is associated with the loss of muscle mass. This phenomenon is also known as sarcopenia. Around what age does this start to occur?
Aerobic capacity is defined as the maximal rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max). A large improvement in aerobic capacity can already be achieved during an intense 10-week training program.
It is well established that drinking too much alcohol will result in a hangover. It is commonly suggested that the hangover will be less if you stick to one type of alcoholic drink, rather than drinking different types of drinks. 
Mediterranean countries have lower cardiovascular mortality rates compared to northern Europe and the United States. It is often suggested that this is at least partly due to the Mediterranean diet.
Studies are typically relatively short (weeks to months). However, we often want to know what happens with longer-term adherence to interventions such as a training protocol or a diet. 
Creatine is an organic compound which is naturally present in our bodies. Creatine supplementation increases muscle creatine levels, strength and muscle mass gains during resistance training.
Protein ingestion after exercise stimulates muscle protein synthesis (the main process regulating muscle recovery, adaptation and growth). It has been well established that protein intake improves resistance training adaptations. 
The gut absorption of the carbohydrate glucose is the limiting factor in using glucose drinks for energy during exercise (carbohydrate oxidation). Fructose is a carbohydrate that is absorbed differently in the gut than glucose. Sucrose consists out of glucose and fructose.
It is often suggested that coffee causes dehydration. This is because coffee contains caffeine, which has a dehydrating effect. However, coffee also contains fluid which has a hydrating effect. Therefore, it can be questioned if coffee intake really causes dehydration.
Poor sleep is associated with susceptibility to acute infectious illness. In addition, sleep deprivation has been shown to negatively affect immune system functioning. Does this mean that you have a higher chance of getting sick when getting insufficient sleep?
Beetroot juice has been shown to increase endurance performance because of its high nitrate content. However, can beetroot juice also increase the performance of other types of exercise?
Caffeine has shown to improve exercise performance. Therefore, caffeine is a popular supplement among athletes.
