Protein Needs for Team Sports
ОглавлениеThe daily protein needs per pound of bodyweight per day for team sport athletes is likely around 0.8 g on average, with 0.6 g per pound of bodyweight per day as a minimum and 1.5 g as a maximum. In team sports like soccer, basketball, and rugby, high energy use in practice and competition increases need for protein to prevent net muscle loss. In contrast to endurance sports, most team sports require greater muscularity for optimal performance and have a lower total demand for energy. Since the carbohydrate needs of team sport athletes are much lower than endurance sport athletes and the benefit from added protein is higher, their optimal protein range is higher than that of endurance athletes.
