PROTEIN AND STRENGTH-POWER ATHLETES
Basic Facts About Protein
By Anssi Manninen, M.H.S.

The importance of protein in nutrition and health cannot be overemphasized. Proteins are nutritionally essential because of their constituent amino acids, which the body must have to synthesize its own variety of proteins and nitrogen-containing molecules that make life possible.

Because of their tremendous structural diversity, protein can serve a wider variety of functions than any other type of molecule in the body. Many proteins, for example, contribute significantly to the structure of tissues. Many proteins play a more active role in the body, where specificity of structure and function is required. Enzymes and antibodies, for example, are critical proteins, and no other molecule can provide the vast array of different structures needed for their tremendously varied functions, like protein can.

Protein Requirements of Strength & Power Athletes
Historically, bodybuilders and other strength-power athletes have always consumed a lot of protein. High-protein diets are used simply because they work. The term "protein requirement" means the amount of protein that must be consumed to provide the amino acids needed for the synthesis of those proteins that are irreversibly catabolized in the course of the body's metabolism. The recommended daily allowances (RDA) for protein are based upon experiments in which normal requirement is defined as the intake necessary to achieve zero balance between intake vs. output. Thus, the intake of nitrogen from protein must be sufficient to balance the nitrogen that's excreted; this concept is called nitrogen balance.

However, serious athletes are different animals. They are not concerned with nitrogen balance but rather, on their absolute gains in muscle mass and strength. Unfortunately, some nutrition "experts" still claim that protein requirements of athletes simply refer to the minimum amount of dietary protein necessary to sustain health. Thus, it is time to set the record straight.

Dr. Cathcart in an extensive review of literature prior to 1925 concluded that "accumulated evidence seems to me to point in an unmistakable fashion…that muscle activity does increase…the metabolism of protein." Further, experiments conducted in the 1940s demonstrated that supplemental protein could enhance muscle mass if taken by power or strength athletes. In 1992, Dr. Lemon wrote, in part: "Perhaps a highly positive nitrogen balance when combined with powerful anabolic stimulus of heavy resistance exercise can enhance protein synthesis and/or reduce protein degradation resulting in greater gains in mass and strength."

Protein Supplements
An earlier survey of supplement use in high school athletes found that 22% consumed protein drinks, 9% consumed amino acid supplements, and 17% consumed either weight-gain or weight-loss products (which contain high-levels of protein). Today, these percentages have certainly grown in number. Protein supplements work. And even though there have been numerous attempts to discourage it, their popularity has not waned.
Table 1. Protein Supplement Types
1. Protein powders (containing protein varying in purity from 34% to almost 100%)

2. Meal replacement powders (containing protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and sometimes other nutrients or fats)

3. Weight gain powders (containing protein, carbohydrates, and sometimes fats, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients)

4. Bars (some bars contain 30 g or more of protein and are advertised as a dietary protein source)

5. Ready-to-drink liquids (may or may not contain carbohydrates and other nutrients)

6. Pills (tablets, capsules, or wafers containing protein and sometimes other nutrients)

7. Protein hydrolysates (in powder, beverage, bar, or pill forms)

8. Amino acids (in combinations of 18 or more that approximate protein or mixtures of a few amino acids or individually -- these may be stand-alone products or added to other protein-containing supplements)
Milk Proteins
Milk proteins are commercially available as 1) whole milk proteins, 2) caseinates, and 3) whey proteins. Milk protein is approximately 80% caseinate and 20% whey protein. Milk protein concentrates and isolates contain more than 90% protein and are commonly used in foods and dietary supplements. Several Romanian studies involving a milk powder containing approximately 90% protein and mineral salts have indicated that extra milk protein significantly improved physiological condition and led to better sports performance, even when compared to the controls. These studies suggest that the very-high-protein diet promotes muscle growth during resistance training.

Whey Proteins
Whey proteins particularly have been singled out as the ultimate form of protein based on essential amino acid composition, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) content, sulfur amino acid content, taste, ease of mixing, stability in liquids, and rapidity of digestion.

Dr. Lands and co-workers compared effects of whey protein concentrate and casein on muscular performance, body composition and lymphocyte glutathione concentration (Glutathione is a peptide that contains one amino acid residue each of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine).

In this study, 20 healthy young adults (10 men, 10 women) were studied pre-supplementation and 3 months post-supplementation with either whey protein or casein (20 g/day). Exercise performance was assessed by whole leg isokinetic cycle testing, measuring peak power and 30-s work capacity. There were no baseline differences at the start of the study. The follow-up data on the remaining 18 subjects (9 whey protein, 9 casein) were analyzed. Both peak power and 30-s work capacity increased significantly in the whey protein group. Lymphocyte glutathione also increased significantly in the whey protein group, with no change in the casein group. In addition, subjects on whey protein had a decrease in their percentage of body fat while maintaining their weight.

Drs. Hu and Zembel published an excellent scientific review on whey protein in the respected Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. They concluded that whey protein supplementation could enhance lean body mass in conjunction with appropriate training. Also, bioactive compounds isolated from whey may also improve immune function and gastrointestinal health. Thus, it is becoming increasingly clear that whey protein is the ultimate source of protein for serious athletes.
Table 2. Types of Commercially Available Whey Proteins
1. Whey Protein Isolate
Protein Concentration: 90-95%
Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Little if any

2.Whey Protein Concentrate
Protein Concentration: Ranges from 25-89%. Most commonly available as 80%
Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Some fat, lactose, and minerals. As protein concentration increases, fat, lactose, and mineral content decreases.

2. Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Protein Concentration: Variable. Hydrolysis used to cleave peptide bonds. Larger proteins become smaller . peptide fractions. Reduces allergic potential compared with non-hydrolyzed.
Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Varies with protein concentration

3. Undenatured Whey Concentrate Protein Concentration: Variable. Usually ranges from 25-89% Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Some fat, lactose, and minerals. As protein concentration increases, fat, lactose, and mineral content decreases. Processed to preserve native protein structures; typically have higher amounts of immunoglobulins and lactoferrin
Whey Protein Isolate
Many experts consider Cross-Flow Microfiltered (CFM) Whey Protein Isolate as the highest quality whey protein known to mankind. CFM whey isolates yield over 90 grams of protein per 100 grams of whey and it is virtually fat- and lactose-free. Further, CFM whey isolate offers other benefits over ion-exchange and other whey protein, such as: 1) the highest level of undenatured protein available (about 99%), 2) more calcium and less sodium, and 3) different and higher percentages of proteins that add to its appeal which ion-exchange does not possess, such as glycomacropeptides (GMP).

CFM Whey Isolate Protein Types
Beta Lactoglobulin 49%: An excellent source of essential amino acids.

Alpha Lactalbumin 25%: An excellent source of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Alpha-Lactalbumin also helps in the process of utilizing minerals and enhancing the immune system.

Glycomacropeptides 19%: They offer powerful biological activity. There is evidence showing that glycomacropeptides may help suppress appetite, improve intestinal health, prevent influenza, etc.

Bovine Serum Albumin, Immunoglobulins 6%: An excellent source of essential amino acids, but there is little available information regarding its potential therapeutic activity. There are five classes of immunoglobulins (antibodies): IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. IgA is secreted in breast milk and ultimately transferred to the digestive track in the newborn infant, providing better immunity. Interestingly, whey protein is also a good source of immunoglobulins.

Lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, etc. 1%: Lactoferrin has antibacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Lactoperoxidase generates products that inhibit and/or kill a range of bacterial species.

Clearly, whey protein isolate derived from the state-of-the-art process of Cross Flow Microfiltration offers more purity and potency than any other whey protein in the marketplace.

Carbohydrate/Protein Supplements
Athletes who must train or compete in exhaustive events on successive days should replace muscle and liver glycogen stores as rapidly as possible. Thus, an athlete recovering from an exhaustive endurance event should ingest sufficient carbohydrate as soon after exercise as is practical.

It was also postulated that adding protein to the carbohydrate ingested during the recovery period would enhance muscle glycogen resynthesis above that achieved with carbohydrate only. Indeed, a recent study by Dr. Ivy and colleagues has clearly demonstrated that a carbohydrate-protein supplement is more effective for replenishing muscle glycogen after exercise than a carbohydrate supplement alone.

Meal Replacements
A number of studies have evaluated long-term weight maintenance using protein-containing meal replacement products, either self-managed, with active dietary counseling, or with behavioral programs compared with traditional caloric-restricted diet plans. All of the studies resulted in maintenance of significant weight loss after 2 to 5 years of follow-up. Interestingly, meal replacements were also found to improve food patterns, including nutrient distribution, intake of macronutrients, and maintenance of fruit and vegetable intake.

High-Protein Intake: No Adverse Effects
The recent review by Dr. Westerterp published in the respected Nutrition & Metabolism concluded that protein plays a key role in body weight regulation through satiety. However, some well-meaning yet misinformed nutrition "authorities" have claimed that high-protein diets possess significant health risks. So, it is time to the set the record straight.

Relative to kidney and liver function, there are no data in the scientific literature demonstrating that healthy kidneys and liver are damaged by the increased demands of protein consumed in quantities 2-3 times above the RDA. Real world examples buttress this contention since protein-related kidney and liver problems are essentially nonexistent in the bodybuilding community. Further, it has been claimed that high-protein diets may have detrimental effects on bone health. However, this is clearly not the case. Protein increases circulating IGF-1, a growth factor that is thought to play an important role in bone formation. In other words, high-protein diets may be, if anything, protective against osteoporosis!

The importance of protein in nutrition and health cannot be overemphasized. Proteins are nutritionally essential because of their constituent amino acids, which the body must have to synthesize its own variety of proteins and nitrogen-containing molecules that make life possible.

It was also postulated that adding protein to the carbohydrate ingested during the recovery period would enhance muscle glycogen resynthesis above that achieved with carbohydrate only. Indeed, a recent study by Dr. Ivy and colleagues has clearly demonstrated that a carbohydrate-protein supplement is more effective for replenishing muscle glycogen after exercise than a carbohydrate supplement alone.

Meal Replacements
A number of studies have evaluated long-term weight maintenance using protein-containing meal replacement products, either self-managed, with active dietary counseling, or with behavioral programs compared with traditional caloric-restricted diet plans. All of the studies resulted in maintenance of significant weight loss after 2 to 5 years of follow-up. Interestingly, meal replacements were also found to improve food patterns, including nutrient distribution, intake of macronutrients, and maintenance of fruit and vegetable intake.

High-Protein Intake: No Adverse Effects
The recent review by Dr. Westerterp published in the respected Nutrition & Metabolism concluded that protein plays a key role in body weight regulation through satiety. However, some well-meaning yet misinformed nutrition "authorities" have claimed that high-protein diets possess significant health risks. So, it is time to the set the record straight.

Relative to kidney and liver function, there are no data in the scientific literature demonstrating that healthy kidneys and liver are damaged by the increased demands of protein consumed in quantities 2-3 times above the RDA. Real world examples buttress this contention since protein-related kidney and liver problems are essentially nonexistent in the bodybuilding community. Further, it has been claimed that high-protein diets may have detrimental effects on bone health. However, this is clearly not the case. Protein increases circulating IGF-1, a growth factor that is thought to play an important role in bone formation. In other words, high-protein diets may be, if anything, protective against osteoporosis!

Sitä tietoa on aika monella sekä alaan koulutetulla että alan vakavalla harrastajalla.

No tuo "ainoa" sanan käyttö oli ehkä pientä sarkasmia kun Anssi on Pakkotoiston "auktoriteetti". Jos Anssi sanoo jotain niin sitten se on niin ;-)

Mannisen osaamisen tasosta en lähde kirjoittamaan, mutta mitä tuohon artikkeliin tulee niin siinä on varmastikkin katsottu perustaksi monet tieteelliset tutkimukset ja näytöt mikrofraktioista. Anssillahan on tapana tehdä artikkeilta juuri tällaisiin faktoihin perustuen. Ei siis mutua ja mainostekstiä vaan faktaa.

Virheellisiä käsityksiä on hyvä tosiaan oikaista, mutta tässä pitää olla tarkkana mistä syystä tällaiseen lähdetään. Jos taustalla on vain myydä markkinoista poikkeavaa tuotetta heikoilla tai vääristetyillä perusteilla niin asia on huonompi.

Isolaatin merkitystä mm. palkkarissa on joillain tahoilla jopa vähätelty ja samalla on itse myyty kaseinaatti konsentraatti-pohjaista juomaa palautusjuomaksikin. Tuossa Anssin tekstistä käy hyvin esille että isolaatti on parhainta.

Harvoin yhdessä henkilössä yhdistyy nuo kaikki osa-alueet. Yhtä hyvään tulokseen päästään varmasti kun jokaisen osa-alueen hallisevat ihmiset kokoontuvat asioita miettimään. UFS/Evo puolella näin on ollut. Taustalla on lääkäreitä, ravintoguruja jotka paitsi ovat itse urheilijoita valmentavat menestyksekkäästi myös muita ;-)

UFS/EVO on juuri painottanut laadukkaiden lisäravinteiden puolesta. Siellä ei ole lähdetty myymään "sokerikonsentraatti-litktuja" vaan mm. isolaattia. Nyt vihdoinkin viime vuosien aikana tuo työ on alkanut kantaa hedelmää ja suomalaiset trenaajat ovat alkaneet käyttää laadukkaita urheiluravinteita ison maailman tyyliin! Osa syy tähän on tietysti ollut hintojen merkittävä alentuminen.

PROTEIN AND STRENGTH-POWER ATHLETES
Basic Facts About Protein
By Anssi Manninen, M.H.S.

The importance of protein in nutrition and health cannot be overemphasized. Proteins are nutritionally essential because of their constituent amino acids, which the body must have to synthesize its own variety of proteins and nitrogen-containing molecules that make life possible.

Because of their tremendous structural diversity, protein can serve a wider variety of functions than any other type of molecule in the body. Many proteins, for example, contribute significantly to the structure of tissues. Many proteins play a more active role in the body, where specificity of structure and function is required. Enzymes and antibodies, for example, are critical proteins, and no other molecule can provide the vast array of different structures needed for their tremendously varied functions, like protein can.

Protein Requirements of Strength & Power Athletes
Historically, bodybuilders and other strength-power athletes have always consumed a lot of protein. High-protein diets are used simply because they work. The term "protein requirement" means the amount of protein that must be consumed to provide the amino acids needed for the synthesis of those proteins that are irreversibly catabolized in the course of the body's metabolism. The recommended daily allowances (RDA) for protein are based upon experiments in which normal requirement is defined as the intake necessary to achieve zero balance between intake vs. output. Thus, the intake of nitrogen from protein must be sufficient to balance the nitrogen that's excreted; this concept is called nitrogen balance.

However, serious athletes are different animals. They are not concerned with nitrogen balance but rather, on their absolute gains in muscle mass and strength. Unfortunately, some nutrition "experts" still claim that protein requirements of athletes simply refer to the minimum amount of dietary protein necessary to sustain health. Thus, it is time to set the record straight.

Dr. Cathcart in an extensive review of literature prior to 1925 concluded that "accumulated evidence seems to me to point in an unmistakable fashion…that muscle activity does increase…the metabolism of protein." Further, experiments conducted in the 1940s demonstrated that supplemental protein could enhance muscle mass if taken by power or strength athletes. In 1992, Dr. Lemon wrote, in part: "Perhaps a highly positive nitrogen balance when combined with powerful anabolic stimulus of heavy resistance exercise can enhance protein synthesis and/or reduce protein degradation resulting in greater gains in mass and strength."

Protein Supplements
An earlier survey of supplement use in high school athletes found that 22% consumed protein drinks, 9% consumed amino acid supplements, and 17% consumed either weight-gain or weight-loss products (which contain high-levels of protein). Today, these percentages have certainly grown in number. Protein supplements work. And even though there have been numerous attempts to discourage it, their popularity has not waned.
Table 1. Protein Supplement Types
1. Protein powders (containing protein varying in purity from 34% to almost 100%)

2. Meal replacement powders (containing protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and sometimes other nutrients or fats)

3. Weight gain powders (containing protein, carbohydrates, and sometimes fats, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients)

4. Bars (some bars contain 30 g or more of protein and are advertised as a dietary protein source)

5. Ready-to-drink liquids (may or may not contain carbohydrates and other nutrients)

6. Pills (tablets, capsules, or wafers containing protein and sometimes other nutrients)

7. Protein hydrolysates (in powder, beverage, bar, or pill forms)

8. Amino acids (in combinations of 18 or more that approximate protein or mixtures of a few amino acids or individually -- these may be stand-alone products or added to other protein-containing supplements)
Milk Proteins
Milk proteins are commercially available as 1) whole milk proteins, 2) caseinates, and 3) whey proteins. Milk protein is approximately 80% caseinate and 20% whey protein. Milk protein concentrates and isolates contain more than 90% protein and are commonly used in foods and dietary supplements. Several Romanian studies involving a milk powder containing approximately 90% protein and mineral salts have indicated that extra milk protein significantly improved physiological condition and led to better sports performance, even when compared to the controls. These studies suggest that the very-high-protein diet promotes muscle growth during resistance training.

Whey Proteins
Whey proteins particularly have been singled out as the ultimate form of protein based on essential amino acid composition, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) content, sulfur amino acid content, taste, ease of mixing, stability in liquids, and rapidity of digestion.

Dr. Lands and co-workers compared effects of whey protein concentrate and casein on muscular performance, body composition and lymphocyte glutathione concentration (Glutathione is a peptide that contains one amino acid residue each of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine).

In this study, 20 healthy young adults (10 men, 10 women) were studied pre-supplementation and 3 months post-supplementation with either whey protein or casein (20 g/day). Exercise performance was assessed by whole leg isokinetic cycle testing, measuring peak power and 30-s work capacity. There were no baseline differences at the start of the study. The follow-up data on the remaining 18 subjects (9 whey protein, 9 casein) were analyzed. Both peak power and 30-s work capacity increased significantly in the whey protein group. Lymphocyte glutathione also increased significantly in the whey protein group, with no change in the casein group. In addition, subjects on whey protein had a decrease in their percentage of body fat while maintaining their weight.

Drs. Hu and Zembel published an excellent scientific review on whey protein in the respected Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. They concluded that whey protein supplementation could enhance lean body mass in conjunction with appropriate training. Also, bioactive compounds isolated from whey may also improve immune function and gastrointestinal health. Thus, it is becoming increasingly clear that whey protein is the ultimate source of protein for serious athletes.
Table 2. Types of Commercially Available Whey Proteins
1. Whey Protein Isolate
Protein Concentration: 90-95%
Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Little if any

2.Whey Protein Concentrate
Protein Concentration: Ranges from 25-89%. Most commonly available as 80%
Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Some fat, lactose, and minerals. As protein concentration increases, fat, lactose, and mineral content decreases.

2. Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Protein Concentration: Variable. Hydrolysis used to cleave peptide bonds. Larger proteins become smaller . peptide fractions. Reduces allergic potential compared with non-hydrolyzed.
Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Varies with protein concentration

3. Undenatured Whey Concentrate Protein Concentration: Variable. Usually ranges from 25-89% Fat, Lactose, and Mineral: Some fat, lactose, and minerals. As protein concentration increases, fat, lactose, and mineral content decreases. Processed to preserve native protein structures; typically have higher amounts of immunoglobulins and lactoferrin
Whey Protein Isolate
Many experts consider Cross-Flow Microfiltered (CFM) Whey Protein Isolate as the highest quality whey protein known to mankind. CFM whey isolates yield over 90 grams of protein per 100 grams of whey and it is virtually fat- and lactose-free. Further, CFM whey isolate offers other benefits over ion-exchange and other whey protein, such as: 1) the highest level of undenatured protein available (about 99%), 2) more calcium and less sodium, and 3) different and higher percentages of proteins that add to its appeal which ion-exchange does not possess, such as glycomacropeptides (GMP).

CFM Whey Isolate Protein Types
Beta Lactoglobulin 49%: An excellent source of essential amino acids.

Alpha Lactalbumin 25%: An excellent source of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Alpha-Lactalbumin also helps in the process of utilizing minerals and enhancing the immune system.

Glycomacropeptides 19%: They offer powerful biological activity. There is evidence showing that glycomacropeptides may help suppress appetite, improve intestinal health, prevent influenza, etc.

Bovine Serum Albumin, Immunoglobulins 6%: An excellent source of essential amino acids, but there is little available information regarding its potential therapeutic activity. There are five classes of immunoglobulins (antibodies): IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. IgA is secreted in breast milk and ultimately transferred to the digestive track in the newborn infant, providing better immunity. Interestingly, whey protein is also a good source of immunoglobulins.

Lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, etc. 1%: Lactoferrin has antibacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Lactoperoxidase generates products that inhibit and/or kill a range of bacterial species.

Clearly, whey protein isolate derived from the state-of-the-art process of Cross Flow Microfiltration offers more purity and potency than any other whey protein in the marketplace.

Carbohydrate/Protein Supplements
Athletes who must train or compete in exhaustive events on successive days should replace muscle and liver glycogen stores as rapidly as possible. Thus, an athlete recovering from an exhaustive endurance event should ingest sufficient carbohydrate as soon after exercise as is practical.

It was also postulated that adding protein to the carbohydrate ingested during the recovery period would enhance muscle glycogen resynthesis above that achieved with carbohydrate only.

Ho hoo, jos nyt leikitään sun idean mukaan eli mikrofraktiot tuhoutuisi elimistössä niin kyllä pään pensaaseen saa laittaa aika helvetin monta firmaa ja asiantuntijaa ennen jotain nimimerkkiä netissä!
