Does anybody know of any interactions between diving and muscle protein synthesis?
I understand the implications of physical exertion, and its propensity to expose a diver to DCS. But my question relates to the long term effect diving may have on ones ability to recover from resistance training and build muscle.
Since tissue requires a period of time to off-gas following a dive, will this physiological response limit or indeed prevent optimal muscle protein synthesis?
I am a very keen diver, but am also trying to achieve a certain level of physical conditioning (bodybuilding). I am training on a 5 day split (Mon-Fri) and dive at the weekend, on my rest days.
Will I jeopardise my recovery / ability to build muscle by diving on my rest days?
Any insight / advice would be massively appreciated >)))'>
