If you just did some resistance training and then did not intake amino acids, what would happen?

• You would have greater proteolysis than protein synthesis

• You would have greater protein synthesis than proteolysis

• Both levels of protein synthesis and proteolysis would be lower than the levels at rest

• Positive

• Negative

You decide to do some endurance training. If you don't intake amino acids after exercising, what does this mean for your levels?

• Protein synthesis and proteolysis increase

• Your levels of proteolysis are significantly greater than at rest or after intaking amino acids

• Both are true
