Exploring the impact of GSK Human Performance Lab science on the body.
Taking a closer look at muscle protein synthesis, muscle soreness and performance science.
Performance and recovery
Explore the effect of training and nutrition on the body and the biological responses that underpin adaptation, performance and recovery through these in-depth animations.
Muscle soreness
Explore the impact of exercise on muscle soreness, exploring the inflammatory cascade, muscle breakdown, impact on glycogen availability and the role of protein ingestion in recovery and rebuilding of muscle tissue.
Muscle protein synthesis
Explore the impact of immobility on muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. This animation examines the muscle and strength loss from these periods of immobility and the impact of amino acid supply on the rebuilding or muscle strength, mass and function.
