Numerous studies and meta-analyses have shown that protein intake ________the RDA promotes superior muscular adaptations for endurance exercise. Greater than Less than Equal to Less than half 3. Marc is interested in consuming more plant-based proteins, but he has concerns because several online influencers say soy protein adversely affects male reproductive hormones and is inferior to animal proteins. What would you say to Marc about his concerns? There is high level evidence showing plant-based diets are inferior to animal based. Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein that DOES affect male reproductive hormone levels and should be avoided. Too much soy protein can adversely affect male reproductive health and soy is low quality protein. Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein that does NOT affect male reproductive hormone levels. 4. Meta-analyses show that _________is the most important variable for protein related benefits. Timing Protein type Total daily protein intake Carbohydrate 5. ________ is an amino acid that triggers muscle protein synthesis, so consuming adequate amounts may boost muscle recovery and long-term athletic performance.

John is a first responder with a family history of heart disease and high cholesterol. His physician suggested he switch from animal sources of protein to soy or other vegan sources. John is a weightlifter and is concerned soy supplements are not as effective as whey in increasing strength. What does the evidence say about this topic? Meta-analysis found both animal protein, including whey, and soy lead to significant increases in strength and lean body mass with no differences between the two. Meta-analysis found ONLY animal protein, lead to significant increases in strength and lean body mass. Meta-analysis found ONLY soy lead to significant increases in strength and lean body mass. Meta-analysis found ONLY beef protein lead to significant increases in strength and lean body mass. 12. Elite athletes’ nutrition requirements vary during training periods called _____________ which promote peak performance at specific times of the year. These periods typically include pre-season, competition season, and off-season. Microcycles Macrocycles Workcycles Duracycles Finish
