Effect of Natural Protein Intake on Strength and Body Composition of Power Athletes
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Nutrition - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Power athletes perform isometric or static exercise (e.g. weight lifting) to gain strength and skeletal muscle bulk. Such exercise demands proper nutrition which can include high protein intake. Adequate nutrition not only helps to maintain the energy requirement but also can enhance their performance. The present study was conducted in Huda Market, sector-15, Faridabad, Haryana, North India with 40 adult power athletes as subjects of endurance sport, wherein 20 subjects were given natural protein diet. Two months resistance training program was given to the subjects and their strength was measured by 1 Repetition Maximum (1 RM) and 2 Repetition Maximum (2 RM). The result revealed that 1 RM the subjects on natural protein diet, strength measured by weighted squats, bench press, dead lift, military press, dumbbell press at 0 day was 109.5 ± 13.26, 96.5 ± 10.89, 122.35 ± 13.25, 61.75 ± 5.44 and 26.875 ± 3.12 respectively on the other hand at 60th day was 129.75 ± 10.93, 128.75 ± 10.24, 152.5 ± 10.69, 72.5 ± 5.50 and 30.5 ± 1.53 respectively and the differences were statistically different (p < 0.05). Regarding 2 RM of subjects on natural protein diet strength measured by weighted squats, bench press, dead lift, military press, dumbbell press at 0 day was 101.25 ± 12.55, 94 ± 14.01, 104.75 ± 18.17, 54.75 ± 6.97 and 23 ± 2.23 respectively on the other hand at 60th day 117.75 ± 10.93, 118.75 ± 10.24, 142.5 ± 10.69, 67.5 ± 5.50 and 25 ± 0.00 respectively the differences were statistically different (p < 0.05). The present study concluded that natural protein diet will have significant effect on strength of power athletes.
