OET DAILY READING - 5 & 6
OET DAILY READING - 5
Although muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is influenced by total daily intake, emerging consensus suggests that the timing of protein conception plays a more nuanced role. According to Dr Kline of Exeter University, ingesting leucine-rich protein source within 30 minutes post-exercise may confer anabolic advantages, especially in older adults. However, the writer argues that such guidelines might be overstated, given the lack of consistent longitudinal evidence and individual variability in digestion rates. While acute markers of MPS often improve post-ingestion, they don't always translate into tangible hypertrophy outcomes across the board.
QUESTION 5: What is the writer's opinion about post-exercise protein timing?
A) It's essential for all individuals seeking muscle gain
B) It's probably more useful for older older adults
C) It might be less significant than currently believed
D) It depends on leucine content.
OET DAILY READING - 6
A landmark study conducted at the University of Queensland sought to assess the comparative effectiveness of manual therapy versus eccentric exercise in treating tennis elbow. The trial enrolled 124 subjects, each undergoing one of the two interventions for an eight-week period. Results indicated a statistically significant reduction in pain scores for the eccentric loading group, with the benefits persisting at the six-month review. Manual therapy, while offering modest improvements, was less durable. "The neuromuscular adaptations induced by eccentric training appear to promote tendon remodeling more robustly," concluded the study. It was also noted compliance was a major variable; patients who failed to adhere to the daily protocol experienced attenuated benefits. These results reinforce the clinical importance patient education and engagement in rehabilitation programs, particularly when dealing with degenerative tendon disorders.
QUESTION 6: What is the main purpose of this research?
A) To establish whether tennis elbow is a degenerative disorder
B) To measure the rate of patient non-compliance in physiotherapy
C) To test the long-term effect of corticosteroid injection
D) to compare rehabilitation strategies for lateral epicondylitis.
