Interventions

12 healthy, young males will be assigned to perform a single bout of resistance exercise immediately followed by 20 min of one-legged cold-water immersion (CWI
8 degrees Celsius) to assess the effect on macro-, microvascular blood flow, and subsequent amino acid incorporation in skeletal muscle tissue. The other leg will serve as control and will be submer
30 degrees Celsius) at the same time as the CWI intervention. To mimic typical post-exercise recovery, subjects will ingest 20 g of milk protein combined with 45 g of carbohydrate immediately follow
