Is there any relation between energy expenditure or metabolic rate and recovery or physical performances or even protein/nitrogen balance?
I mean, does people with “slow” metabolic rate have harder problems with recovery from physical activity and resistance training, muscle buliding and tissue turnover and sports (physical) performance?
If you’re increasing your metabolic rate - can you recover faster, build a bigger muscle, or train harder?
If you have some studies on the topic, it’ll really help me.
It’s a very interesting question you’re asking. Unfortunately I don’t think there is any simple answer as there are so many different physiological factors that impact recovery.
For example, for nutrient delivery, which plays a large role in recovery, is dependent on things like:
Daily activity rate (E.g. activity that stimulates blood flow)
And the list goes on . . .
I think you could make a case for people with higher basal metabolic rates recovering better as they process nutrients faster however if they’re disposing of all those valuable nutrients through excrement, who knows.
