About this document
FULL - Dietary Protein For Athletes From Requirements To Optimum Adaptation by mamithemad is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses dietary protein requirements for athletes. It argues that current recommendations of 0.75-0.80g/kg may not be optimal for athletes and that intakes of 1.3-1.8g/kg consumed in several meals could maximize muscle protein synthesis. Higher intakes of 1.8-2.0g/kg may prevent lean mass loss during calorie restriction. Leucine and branched-chain amino acids may be particularly important for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
