Muscle protein synthesis and muscle protein breakdown occur simultaneously as a continuous process and the amount of muscle mass present at any one time is due to the net balance between these. Dietary protein and exercise impact on the rate of both muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. For instance, immediately after a protein-containing meal, muscle protein synthesis increases and as time passes, protein breakdown increases. This occurs regardless of whether physical activity has taken place. Exercise stimulates an increase in muscle protein synthesis, which can last for at least 24 hours. Weight training specifically causes muscle hypertrophy, which is an increase in the size of muscle cells, and therefore an increase in muscle mass.
