Title: Impact of Protein Intake on Protein Metabolism and Exercise Performance in Endurance-Trained Males
Abstract: Background: Current recommendations for athletes consider dietary protein requirements that maintain nitrogen (i.e. protein) balance rather than an optimal dosage to enhance metabolism and exercise performance. Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to determine how differing protein intakes alter protein metabolism and exercise performance. Methods: Using a double blind randomized crossover design, 10 male runners completed 3 trials involving 4 days of controlled training and ingestion of either 0.94 (LOW), 1.20 (MOD) or 1.83 g protein/kg body weight/d (HIGH). Whole body protein metabolism and exercise performance were assessed. Results: Whole body net protein balance displayed a relative dose-response (HIGH > MOD > LOW, P%%%%M.Sc.
