Updating and clarifying the issues surrounding purposeful protein intake and resistance trainers, this volume:
Reviews the science-related history of protein and its consumption among strength athletes
Analyzes the mechanisms behind what proteins do in muscle cells
Describes protein’s effect on performance, recovery, and body composition
Explores various populations that actively employ resistance training and dietary protein
Discusses timing, type, and safety data regarding liberal protein diets and related supplements
Includes sidebars, practical examples, and case studies—translating the science into a practical understanding of various protein-related topics
Separating fact from fiction and providing the hard science behind the numbers, this volume demonstrates how changes in dietary protein intake may lead to measurable improvements in body composition, energy levels, and athletic performance.
