Does Protein Intake Timing Matter in Climbing Training?
Protein Timing in Climbing: Does It Matter?
Current evidence indicates that total daily protein intake (1.2–2.0 g/kg/day) is the primary determinant of muscle hypertrophy, strength, and recovery in climbers. While nutrient timing around exercise shows limited additional effects, specific populations—such as elderly athletes, those with low habitual intake, or climbers training at high frequency—may benefit from targeted strategies like immediate post-exercise or pre-sleep protein ingestion.
