Different nutrient and energy requirements for endurance and resistance athletes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
I am a second year Nutrition student and have a question about protein and endurance athletes. Why are their protein requirements greater than they are for resistance athletes? Is it because the muscle glycogen stores get depleted over a long period of time with intense exercise? If so, should they consume more carbohydrates than resistance athletes, with a low glycemic index prior to their workout?

متن کاملProtein requirements for endurance athletes.
Acute endurance exercise results in the oxidation of several amino acids. The total amount of amino acid oxidation during endurance exercise amounts to only 1-6% of the total energy cost of exercise. The branched chain amino acid, leucine, has been most often studied in relation to endurance exercise. Leucine is oxidized by the enzyme, branched-chain oxo-acid dehydrogenase (BCOAD). BCOAD is rel...

متن کاملComparison of The Effect of Eight Weeks of Combined Exercises and Caffeine Supplementation on Anaerobic Capacity, Fatigue index, Aerobic Endurance and Skill Test in Elite Female Taekwondo Athletes
Introduction and purpose: One of the concerns of professional athletes is to increase their performance. In intense activities, the rapid exhaustion of energy and the increase of lactic acid accumulation are among the factors of performance reduction during a period of competition. The purpose of this study was comparing the effect of eight weeks of combined training and caffeine supplementatio...
