This is an important review on results obtained using a model of amino acid kinetics in the leg, based on the arterio-venous difference method and tracer infusion. It emphasizes the importance of the variations of extracellular free amino acid concentrations and their timing in relation to resistance exercise.

These results are complementary to data on lean body mass and nitrogen balance variations obtained in elderly women.
