Anabolic Window Synchronization

Meaning

Anabolic Window Synchronization is the precise timing of macronutrient and specific cofactor intake relative to a physiological stimulus, such as resistance exercise, to maximize the anabolic response. This strategy deliberately capitalizes on transient shifts in insulin sensitivity and amino acid transport activity in skeletal muscle cells. The clinical objective is to optimize protein synthesis rates and enhance overall tissue repair following catabolic events. Effective synchronization minimizes the duration of net protein degradation.
