Abstract: BACKGROUND: Protein is one of the essential nutrients for the human body and is a key component of human cell tissue. Protein supplementation can promote the synthesis of myofibrillar protein and play a key role in strength training. However, the interaction mechanism and signaling pathway between protein and exercise are still unclear. 
OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of interaction between exercise and protein, and to optimize the benefits of protein supplementation on exercise performance.
METHODS: Using “sports, proteins, amino acids, polypeptide, interaction mechanisms, signaling pathway” as Chinese and English search terms, we searched WanFang Data, CNKI, VIP, and PubMed databases respectively. Articles were screened according to the inclusion criteria, and finally 73 articles were included in the review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Current research on protein supplementation promoting exercise performance mainly focuses on promoting muscle growth, endurance improvement, and body recovery through protein supplementation, but there are differences in the existing experimental results. The interaction mechanism between protein molecules and proteins in the body is not yet clear. The research on the interaction mechanism between exercise and peptides is still in its infancy. Exercise can stimulate the full absorption of external protein intake, which can affect the mechanism of protein molecules in the body. Supplementing peptide nutrition can more accurately affect the body’s state, thus better eliminating the phenomena of “sub-health” and “modern diseases.” Therefore, studying the interaction mechanism between exercise and proteins is particularly important, delving into the specific mechanisms by which amino acids act on the body, and further exploring the interaction mechanism between exercise and peptides.

Key words: peptide nutrition, signaling pathway, protein, amino acid, polypeptide, engineered tissue construction
