Effects of Exercise and Dietary Protein Levels on Body Composition in Humans
註釋Two levels of protein (200 and 100 gm/day) were fed to two groups of young adults who exercised strenuously for 40 days. From body volume, total body water mass, 40 K whole body counting, and potassium balances, it was determined that the 2.10 kg gain in body weight in Group I subjects (200 gm of protein/day) reflected 0.67, 2.42, and 0.22 kg gains of dry protein, water, and mineral, respectively, with a 1.21 kg loss of body fat. Lesser gains of 0.39 kg of dry protein, 1.46 kg of body water, and 0.13 kg of mineral were observed in Group II, with a 1.09 kg loss of body fat. Minimal changes were noted in several anthropometric girths, and arm and scapular skinfolds. Although higher dietary intakes resulted in small increments in nitrogen and potassium retentions, intakes of 100 grams of protein per day were sufficient for positive nitrogen balances and appeared to be adequate for men during strenuous physical activity.
