Nutritional Difference Between Male And Female Athlete's

Dijukno several years ago, Dr. David Rowlands, a senior lecturer with the Institute of Food, Nutrition, and Human Health at Massey University in New Zealand, set out to study the role of protein in recovery from hard exercise?  He asked a group of male cyclists to ride intensely until their legs were aching and virtually all of their stored muscle fuel had been depleted.  The cyclists then consumed bars, and drinks that contained either mostly carbohydrates, or both carbohydrates, and protein.  Over the next few days, they completed two sessions of hard interval training.  One took place the following morning; the other took place two days later.


Dr. Rowlands found that the cyclists showed little benefit during the first interval session.  But during the second, the men who ingested protein had an overall performance gain of more than 4 percent, compared with the men who took only carbohydrates, which is huge, in competition.  Other researchers earlier studies produced similar results.  Protein seems to aid in the uptake of carbohydrates from the blood. Muscles store more fuel after exercise if those calories are accompanied by protein.  The protein is also thought to aid in the repair of muscle damage after hard exercise.  Dr. Rowlands’s work, published in 2008, was right in line with conventional wisdom.

After his original work was completed, Dr. Rowlands says, “we received inquiries from female cyclists,” asking
