Official Title: Protein Requirements Amongst Male Masters-Level Athletes Following a Cycling Exercise Bout as Determined by the Indicator Amino Acid Oxidation Technique
Brief Summary:
Masters level cyclists are a population above the age of 35 years who frequently participate in prolonged as well as heavy-volume training. Like most endurance-trained athletes, a greater recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein of 1.2-1.4 g/kg/bw is suggested.Dietary protein intake is vital for maximizing the benefits of training and ensuring optimal recovery. Dietary recommendations traditionally have been determined through nitrogen balance techniques, however, recent research indicates how this method…
