What is the sequence of protein synthesis?

• A. water uptake, noncontractile protein synthesis, contractile protein synthesis
• B. contractile protein synthesis, water uptake, noncontractile protein synthesis
• C. noncontractile protein synthesis, water uptake, contractile protein synthesis
• D. water uptake, contractile protein synthesis, noncontractile protein synthesis

Answer: (A)

Cellular changes after resistance work begin with water uptake into the muscle cell, causing swelling that serves as a signal to start protein-building processes. This swelling triggers synthesis of noncontractile proteins that provide the structural support and intracellular machinery needed for remodeling. Once the cell has established that scaffolding, the system then shifts to producing contractile proteins (actin and myosin) to enhance force production. So the sequence is water uptake first, followed by noncontractile protein synthesis, and finally contractile protein synthesis.
