Americans have become obsessed with protein!
In gyms, restaurants, medical offices and stores
we are bombarded with ads and displays of
protein supplements.
Many of these beliefs about protein are
incredibly exaggerated or just plain wrong.




Derived from Greek “of first rank” or
“primary”
Found in 40% of skeletal muscle, 25% in organs
and the remainder in the skin and blood
Play vital roles in almost every biological
process
Macromolecules composed of C, H, O and N
which are formed when large amounts of
subunits or amino acids link together creating
long chains
Composed of amino acids
(AA’s)
 Contain a central carbon
atom, amino group (NH2),
carboxylic group (COOH), and a side chain.
 Twenty AA’s, 9 essential
 Complete proteins contain
all 9 essential AA’s

ALL ANIMAL SOURCES
VEGETABLE SOURCES
 Meat
 Soy
 Poultry
 Tempeh
 Fish
 Grains
 Milk
 Nuts
 Cheese
 Beans
 Yogurt
 Soy/ Almond milk
 Starchy vegetables



Requirements reflect the need to offset protein
losses to maintain nitrogen homeostasis
Proteins constantly being synthesized and
degraded “protein turnover”
Most AA’s are recycled, but a small portion are
oxidized and must be replaced

Protease enzymes in the stomach and small intestine
(SI), break down the amino acid chains in proteins into
polypeptides
 then further separate into individual amino acids.
Absorption occurs along the SI
Absorption of AA’s into the intestinal cells requires
carriers; but paracellular absorption can also occur
 In general, BCAA absorbed faster than smaller amino
acids

DRI for healthy individuals: 0.8 g/kg/day
Strength and endurance athletes may have
increased needs
Endurance athletes: 1.2 to1.4g/kg/day
 9-10% daily energy
Resistance athletes: 1.6 to 1.7g/kg/day
 14-15% daily energy
Extra protein is needed to repair damaged muscle
fibers, decrease the rate of muscle protein
breakdown, replenishment of depleted energy
stores, and synthesis of new protein molecules

18th century: muscles primarily composed of
protein
18th century: Belief that protein was the major
fuel source during exercise
Observations of affluent laborers diets lead to
the “Voit Standard” or 118 grams of pro/day
1904: 35–50 g of protein a day was believed
adequate for adults
2010: It is understood that the major energy fuel
source is carbohydrates and not protein

Branched-Chain Amino Acid Supplementation
and Indicators of Muscle Damage After
Endurance Exercise
Greer, B. , Woodard, J. , White, J. , Arguello, E. , & Haymes, E. (2007). Branched-chain
amino acid supplementation and indicators of muscle damage after endurance exercise.


Determine if branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)
supplementation decreases indicators of muscle
damage compared with a carbohydrate (CHO)
beverage or a noncaloric placebo (PLAC) beverage.
Image Justsupplements.com



Goal is to reduce muscle damage during training
BCAA may reduce the extent of muscle damage
via the release of anabolic hormones or by
inhibiting proteolysis
Ingesting BCAA’s pre and post workout has
been shown to decrease post exercise creatine
kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
activities

Nine untrained, healthy college men
Kept detailed diet record and were encouraged to
maintain the same dietary pattern
Avoid eating for 3 hours before each trial
Subjects assigned to 1 of 3 treatment orders
Exercise at 50% V02 max for 90 min.
Beverages were administered at 5 minute pre exercise
and at 60 min. mark.

Subjects blinded to beverage, same taste and
appearance
1. BCAA beverage – isoleucine, leucine, valine (200
kcal)
2. Isocaloric CHO beverage (Gatorade) (200 kcal)
3. PLAC- noncaloric, water, artificial sweetener,
lemon flavor, and salts


CK activities significantly lower after the BCAA
trial than in the PLAC trial at all times, only
lower than the CHO at 24 h
CK lower in the CHO trial than PLAC at 24
and 48 h
LDH was lower in the BCAA trial at 4 H, no
sig. difference between CHO and BCAA
No sig. effects for leg extension torque
Leg flexion torque in the BCAA trial was
significantly greater than both the CHO and
PLAC trials at 48 h postexercise
Leg Extension torque increased,
but not significantly

Leg Flexion Increased
significantly at 48 h

Data suggests BCAA supplementation attenuates muscle
damage during prolonged endurance exercise in untrained
college age men
Smaller changes in markers in this study than previous,
isocaloric?
Intensity too low?
AA with coingestion of CHO may be more effective than AA
alone
Possible mechanism- when ingested before aerobic exercise
BCAA increases concentrations of human growth hormone and
helps attenuate a drop in testosterone, resulting in more anabolic
environment

To determine the effect of protein (PRO)
supplementation before an acute bout of heavy
resistance training (HRT) on post exercise resting
energy expenditure (REE) and the non protein
respiratory exchange ration (RER).
Hypothesis: REE would be increased and RER would be
decreased up to 48 hours after HRT in those receiving
PRO compared with CHO
Double-blind two trial crossover design
6 resistance trained men, 3 trained women
Measure one rep max (RM)
4 day dietary journal
Consumed supplement 20 mins before single bout of
HRT
 PRO supplement- 18 g whey, 2 g CHO, 1.5 g fat
 CHO supplement- 19 g CHO, 1 g PRO, 1 g fat
 REE measured 4 consecutive days with Sensor Medics
metabolic system




REE elevated significantly in both CHO and
PRO groups at 24 and 48 h post HRT
REE in response to PRO was significantly
greater compared with CHO at 24 h
RER decreased significantly in both groups at
24 h compared to baseline
No differences observed in total energy intake
or HRT volume = sets x reps x kg lifted




Reduced RER indicates there is greater
reliance at fat oxidation at rest
Ingesting protein before HRT may be an
effective way to increase energy expenditure
Increases in REE may lead to improvements
in body composition
Volume was not increased so did not increase
strength!

It may be most beneficial to consume protein
during immediate hours of post exercise.
Exercised muscle has increased blood flow,
amino acid uptake and protein synthesis
Amino acid uptake from high protein meal
appears to be greatest following exercise


Evaluate the effect of post exercise protein
consumption on next day high intensity cycling
performance
Investigate presence of recovery and evaluate
high intensity performance after 3 days.
Double-blind, randomized, crossover design
12 trained male cyclists
Cyclists performed 3, 2.5 hour programmed cycling
endurance exercise tests over a 4 day period in the
laboratory. Day 3 was a rest day.
 Day 1 & 2, each cyclist consumed treatment.
 The protein group received 0.8 g of pro/kg/hr in
form of bar or beverage. Control group consumed
0.12 g pro/kg/hr and 2.35g cho/kg/hr
 Instructed to consume 8 times throughout a 4

Connected through 4 Levels
Macrosystem: wider society, culture, media and
Ex. Athletes are susceptible to media and
advertisements of high protein diets,
supplement use and are often intrigued by such
items that claim to performance.
Mesosystem: school policies, trainers and coaches
Ecosystem: family values, norms and expectations
Macrosystem: personal beliefs, values and skills

Increased communication and understanding
between the athlete and dietitian
Lead to improved athletic performance
