Journal Article
Jones, T. W., Smith, A., Macnaughton, L. S., & French, D. N. (2016). Strength and Conditioning and Concurrent Training Practices in Elite Rugby Union. The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 30(12), 3354-3366. https://doi.org/10.1519/jsc.0000000000001445

There is limited published research on strength and conditioning (S&C) practices in elite rugby union (RU). Information regarding testing batteries and programme design would provide valuable information to both applied practitioners and researchers...

The response of muscle protein synthesis following whole-body resistance exercise is greater following 40 g than 20 g of ingested whey protein (2016)
Journal Article
Macnaughton, L., Wardle, S., Witard, O., McGlory, C., Hamilton, D., Jeromson, S., Lawrence, C., Wallis, G., & Tipton, K. (2016). The response of muscle protein synthesis following whole-body resistance exercise is greater following 40 g than 20 g of ingested whey protein. Physiological Reports, 4(15), Article e12893. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12893

The currently accepted amount of protein required to achieve maximal stimulation of myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) following resistance exercise is 20–25 g. However, the influence of lean body mass (LBM) on the response of MPS to protein ingest...

Fish oil supplementation suppresses resistance exercise and feeding-induced increases in anabolic signaling without affecting myofibrillar protein synthesis in young men (2016)
Journal Article
Mcglory, C., Wardle, S., Macnaughton, L., Witard, O., Scott, F., Dick, J., Bell, J., Phillips, S., Galloway, S., Hamilton, D., & Tipton, K. (2016). Fish oil supplementation suppresses resistance exercise and feeding-induced increases in anabolic signaling without affecting myofibrillar protein synthesis in young men. Physiological Reports, 4(6), Article e12715. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12715

Fish oil (FO) supplementation potentiates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in response to a hyperaminoacidemic–hyperinsulinemic infusion. Whether FO supplementation potentiates MPS in response to protein ingestion or when protein ingestion is combined...

Protein considerations for optimising skeletal muscle mass in healthy young and older adults (2016)
Journal Article
Witard, O., Wardle, S., Macnaughton, L., Hodgson, A., & Tipton, K. (2016). Protein considerations for optimising skeletal muscle mass in healthy young and older adults. Nutrients, 8(4), Article 181. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu8040181

Skeletal muscle is critical for human health. Protein feeding, alongside resistance exercise, is a potent stimulus for muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and is a key factor that regulates skeletal muscle mass (SMM). The main purpose of this narrative re... Read More about Protein considerations for optimising skeletal muscle mass in healthy young and older adults.
