1. Determine an appropriate amount of protein for the sedentary adult and athletes listed below.
- Sedentary Adult
- Recreational athlete playing volleyball three times per week
- Bodybuilder who is training to increase skeletal muscle mass
- 10 km runner maintaining body composition
- Ironman distance triathlete in a high-volume training period
1.1. First identify the protein recommended per day based on the intensity of activity.
1.2. Then calculate the protein needed per day.
2. Assume that energy intake is adequate.
3. Calculations are needed so be sure to translate the g/kg recommendation to total g of protein, using a body weight that is characteristic of the sport.
4. Explain why you chose the g/kg recommendations used in your calculations.
