❏ Athletes and active individuals may benefit from protein intakes of 1.2 to 1.7 g/kg/d, an
amount higher than the recommended daily allowance of 0.8 g/kg/d.❏ Consuming 20 to 25 g …

The extent to which physical activity influences protein requirements is a difficult question to
answer on two counts. First, physical activity results in a complex and presently poorly …

Muscle protein synthesis is regulated by two main anabolic stimuli, food intake and physical
activity. Food intake, or rather protein ingestion, directly elevates muscle protein synthesis …

The effects of regular submaximal exercise on dietary protein requirements, whole body
protein turnover, and urinary 3-methylhistidine were determined in six young (26.8+/-1.2 yr) …

This study aimed to determine the daily protein requirements of female and male endurance
athletes in a home-based setting using noninvasive stable isotope methodology (ie …
