This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: With the apparent rise in vegetarianism, protein source is a growing concern for athletes who wish to fuel properly. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there exists a difference between the acute performance effects of plant-based versus animal-based protein. To assess this, male college athletes (N = 9) performed baseline front squat and vertical jump tests, then reported back to the lab on two separate occasions: one where they were fed a whey protein drink following an exhaustive session, and one where they were fed a plant-based protein drink following an exhaustive session. Front squat and vertical jump were re-assessed after both conditions. There was no difference in performance on the squat or vertical jump assessments between the plant- or animal-based conditions (p = 1.000 and p = .604, respectively). Acutely, plant-based protein is equally as effective as animal-based protein in recovering from an exhaustive training stimulus.

Download or read book Post Exercise Ingestion of Plant Vs Animal Protein Enhances Exercise Performance Outcomes Similarly written by Adam N. Upshaw and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the ingestion of a carbohydrate-protein supplement after exercise has garnered considerable interest among both athletes and scientists. However, debate exists about whether the type of protein consumed, animal vs plant, affects exercise performance differently. Thus, it is the purpose of this dissertation to compare performance outcomes following carbohydrate (CHO)-plant or CHO-animal protein ingestion utilizing a variety of exercise conditions (acute bouts of aerobic exercise, 10 weeks of strength training and six weeks of concurrent training). Study 1 demonstrated that following a glycogen depleting bout of cycling, dairy chocolate, soy chocolate, hemp chocolate or dairy milk ingestion all enhanced the performance of a subsequent 20km cycling time trial relative to that of a placebo drink (p = 0.02). Further because the drinks were matched for energy and total liquid consumed these data suggest that a post exercise CHO-plant protein drink is as effective as a post exercise CHO-animal protein drink with respect to same day 20km time trial performance following glycogen depleting exercise. Study 2 demonstrated that regardless of protein type (hemp, dairy milk or whey protein isolate) post training session CHO-protein supplementation increased isokinetic bicep (p =0.03), quadriceps (p =0.04 and isometric bicep strength (p = 0.05) vs a carbohydrate only drink over 10 weeks of strength training. Thus, post training session CHO-protein ingestion appears to be as effective for strength development over 10 weeks of training whether the protein source is vegetable (hemp) or animal (milk, whey). Study 3 demonstrated that post training session CHO - hemp protein ingestion produced greater improvements in time trial (p = 0.01), peak Wingate power (p = 0.001) and 1-RM strength (p = 0.01) with 6 weeks of concurrent training vs carbohydrate only. Six weeks of concurrent training, when supplemented with hemp based protein-CHO drink post exercise, appears to be effective at enhancing aerobic and anaerobic performance outcomes similarly to what has been previously found with a CHO- animal protein supplement. Together, these studies demonstrate significant and similar improvements with plant or animal protein-CHO post exercise supplementation for strength or concurrent training and for time trial performance following glycogen depleting exercise.

Download or read book The Effects of Carbohydrate and Amino Acids on Muscle Protein Synthesis After Acute Resistance Exercise and Muscle Adaptation Following Chronic Resistance Training written by Wanyi Wang (M.S. in Kinesiology) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resistance exercise (RE) is purported to induce muscle protein accretion primarily by stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS), with its effect potentiated by providing a protein or amino acid (AA) supplement post exercise. Glutamine, a conditionally essential AA, is increasingly recommended to improve exercise performance, but it is poorly soluble and unstable in sports drinks. This limitation can be overcome by combining L-glutamine with L-alanine to form a dipeptide (AlaGln). The first study demonstrated that AlaGln supplementation post resistance exercise significantly reduced the phosphorylation of AMPK and NF-kB p65 without activating intracellular signals for MPS. This study also showed that whey protein (WP) activated the mTOR signaling pathways without affecting signaling proteins that controls muscle protein breakdown (MPB). The results provide indirect evidence that AlaGln blocks MPB via suppressing the activation of AMPK-FOXO3A and NF-kB p65, while WP promotes MPS. Recent research suggests that adding carbohydrate (CHO) to a protein supplement post exercise can produce greater protein accretion and subsequently increase the magnitude of resistance training adaptation relative to protein supplementation alone. Early studies from our laboratory found that co-ingestion of CHO and protein, as compared with CHO or protein intake individually, had a greater effect on the activation of anabolic signaling proteins. However, the effect of CHO plus protein on MPS and muscle adaptation is controversial. The second study demonstrated that adding CHO to a protein supplement (CP) accelerated MPS via activating the mTOR-signaling pathway in comparison with placebo (PLA) and WP during early exercise recovery, but CP did not affect signaling proteins that regulate MPB. The third study found that CP enhanced muscle strength relative to PLA and WP. The greater strength development in CP appeared due to increased myofibrillar protein content. Increased muscle hypertrophy occurred without an increase in myonuclei suggesting satellite cell activation was not required for muscle fiber development. Taken together, the results of this series of studies suggest that 1) AlaGln inhibits MPB following acute RE; 2) Adding CHO to a protein supplement accelerates muscle recovery by stimulating MPS, and increases the magnitude of muscle strength by accumulating more myofibrillar protein in comparison with PLA and WP.

Download or read book Increased Dietary Protein in Sedentary Vegans and Vegetarians and Its Effect on Body Composition and Strength written by April Incollingo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are leading causes of death in the United States. Although they result from a host of personal and environmental factors, diet remains a critical way to reduce the risk. Plant-based diets in particular are associated with reduction in risk for chronic disease due to an intake that closely mirrors the Dietary Guidelines for fruit and vegetable consumption, fiber, and fat intake. Additionally, plant-based diets offer a sustainable alternative in relation to food production as they often require fewer natural resources overall. While there are many benefits to following a plant-based diet, potential concerns arise as well. Certain micronutrients can be lacking and protein intake can be inadequate without careful consideration of dietary intake. Protein is especially important for its role in maintaining lean body mass, which allows individuals to function in activities of daily living. Plant-based sources of protein are often less digestible; therefore, those consuming vegetarian and vegan diets may benefit from increased protein intake for preservation and perhaps improved lean body mass as well as strength changes. Recent research has shown that vegetarians had significantly less muscle mass compared to omnivores despite similar amounts of protein intake in grams per day. Other research has shown that vegetarians do not necessarily see an increase in muscle mass when exposed to resistance exercise, whereas those following an omnivorous diet or lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet do. However, other studies have found that vegetarians can achieve increases in lean body mass comparable to omnivores if 30g/meal of plant-based protein is ingested consistently. It remains unclear what effect protein supplementation might have on strength and muscle mass among sedentary plant-based eaters. As such, the present study assessed sedentary vegetarian and vegan individuals as to whether increases in dietary plant-based protein could elicit changes in body composition, hand grip and lower body strength independent of exercise. After an 8-week intervention, no significant differences for lean body mass or strength were noted. Results are discussed in the context of trial integrity and supplement consumption issues.

Download or read book Vegetarian Nutrition and Wellness written by Winston J. Craig and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large amount of research effort goes into assessing the health benefits of a plant-based diet, resulting from human desire to consume a more sustainable diet that is less destructive of the earth’s natural resources. In addition, a growing number of people are choosing the vegan or total vegetarian diet because of the potential to greatly reduce the risk of chronic diseases and mortality rates. Although this interest in plant-based eating is popular, there exist concerns on the safety of some vegetarian diets, especially a vegan diet. This book describes issues of the vegetarian diet and outlines ways to prevent nutrient deficiencies. Vegetarian Nutrition and Wellness focuses on synthesizing research around vegetarian diets and human health. A major section of the book deals with how a vegetarian diet protects population groups from the major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and various cancers. Based upon ecological and clinical studies, chapter authors explain the health-promoting properties of plant-based diets, and compare/contrast health outcomes obtained from consuming omnivorous diets with a vegetarian or vegan diet. Fruits and vegetables figure prominently in vegetarian diets and provide a substantial effect in disease reduction and health-promoting properties of a plant-based diet. Vegetarian Nutrition and Wellness is written for the academic community, registered dietitians, health professionals, and graduate students in nutrition and public health. Each chapter provides a comprehensive review of the scientific literature and includes a concise summary at the beginning of each chapter. The time is ripe for this book to update the scientific community with a collage of well-documented topics on vegetarian nutrition.

Download or read book The Effects of Carbohydrate protein Supplementation on Endurance Exercise Performance Recovery and Training Adaptation written by Lisa Ferguson Stegall and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research suggests that adding protein (PRO) to a carbohydrate (CHO) supplement can have substantial benefits for endurance exercise performance and recovery beyond that of CHO alone. CHO+PRO supplements are often commercially available formulations consisting of carbohydrates (dextrose, maltodextrin) and whey protein. The effects of a supplement containing moderate protein and a low-CHO mixture on endurance performance has not been investigated. Also, the effects of CHO+PRO supplementation in the form of a natural food, flavored milk, on measures of recovery from acute endurance exercise, as well as on chronic aerobic exercise training adaptations, have not been characterized. Therefore, in this series of four studies, the effects of CHO+PRO supplementation on the following areas of endurance exercise performance, recovery, and adaptation are investigated: acute endurance exercise performance, inflammatory and muscle damage markers, muscle glycogen resynthesis, activation of signaling proteins involved in the initiation of protein synthesis and degradation, subsequent endurance exercise performance, and chronic aerobic training adaptations (maximal oxygen consumption, oxidative enzyme activity, body composition, immune cell levels, and inflammatory markers). Study 1 demonstrated that a supplement containing a low-CHO mixture plus moderate protein significantly improved aerobic endurance when cycling at or below the ventilatory threshold, despite containing 50% less CHO and 30% fewer calories relative to a higher CHO beverage. Study 2 demonstrated that CHO+PRO supplementation in the form of chocolate milk (CM) is an effective post-exercise supplement that can improve subsequent performance and provide a greater intracellular signaling stimulus for protein synthesis compared to CHO and placebo. Study 3 found that post-exercise CM supplementation during 4.5 wks of aerobic exercise training improves the magnitude of cardiovascular adaptations more effectively than isocaloric CHO or placebo, while the fourth study demonstrated that post-exercise CM supplementation during 4.5 wks of aerobic training improves body composition more effectively than isocaloric CHO or placebo. The fourth study also demonstrated that 4.5 wks of training does not appear to perturb resting immune cell concentrations or markers of inflammation and muscle damage. Taken together, the results of this research series suggest that CHO+PRO supplementation extends endurance performance, improves recovery, and increases training adaptations more effectively than CHO or placebo.

Download or read book The Effects of Carbohydrate and Protein Supplementation on Signaling Pathways Regulating Protein Turnover and Muscle Mass Following Chronic Resistance Training written by Lu Huang (M. S. in Kinesiology) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skeletal muscle is important for physical activity and regulation of metabolism. Increase or maintenance of muscle mass is pursued by different populations ranging from athletes to people suffering from severe muscular diseases causing muscle atrophy/wasting. In this study, four animal groups were generated: sedentary group (No supplements or exercise) (SED); resistance training (RE) and whey supplements (WP); RE and combo (Carbohydrate and whey) supplements (CP); RE and placebo (DI water) (PLA). Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscles were collected after 8 weeks of training. Expression of several key proteins controlling muscle mass and protein turnover were measured in order to compare how different combinations affect muscle growth. It was found that resistance training induced reductions in myostatin protein expression compared with sedentary controls (p
