Protein Deep Dive for Athletes, Active Individuals and the Aging Population | Orgain Healthcare Professional Education Series
Research on protein quantity, quality, and timing continues to emerge suggesting that appropriate intake goals may need refinement for a variety of populations. Still, the RDA for protein remains unchanged at 0.8g/kg and those with higher goals pertaining to muscle repair, growth and maintenance might not be considering protein timing. This webinar provides an overview of current protein recommendations for athletic and aging populations, tips to enhance client and patient understanding of protein quality and the importance of timing, as well as specific amino acids, compounds and other nutritional considerations that may aid in muscle protein synthesis and prevention of muscle protein breakdown.
