Agros Health Lifestyle Camp 2011!

I just came back from an incredible experience with kids ages 10-15 at the Agros. Its been a long time since I train kids personally, so I was a little worried about it. It turned out to be FUN FUN FUN! The Healthy Lifestyle Camp is surely a great opportunity for kids on the aspects of exercise, nutrition and well-being and as well as on the elements of teamwork, fun, and social interaction. I strongly recommended it to anyone. Variety of sport activities, ice-breaking games, and nutrition learning drills are some of the activities that take place. Make sure you check out the website for more information (posted on the link section of the blog page on the right hand side). I'm out.......

ISSN position stand: Protein and Exercise

Abstract

Position Statement

The following seven points related to the intake of protein for healthy, exercising individuals constitute the position stand of the Society. They have been approved by the Research Committee of the Society. 1) Vast research supports the contention that individuals engaged in regular exercise training require more dietary protein than sedentary individuals. 2) Protein intakes of 1.4 – 2.0 g/kg/day for physically active individuals is not only safe, but may improve the training adaptations to exercise training. 3) When part of a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, protein intakes at this level are not detrimental to kidney function or bone metabolism in healthy, active persons. 4) While it is possible for physically active individuals to obtain their daily protein requirements through a varied, regular diet, supplemental protein in various forms are a practical way of ensuring adequate and quality protein intake for athletes. 5) Different types and quality of protein can affect amino acid bioavailability following protein supplementation. The superiority of one protein type over another in terms of optimizing recovery and/or training adaptations remains to be convincingly demonstrated. 6) Appropriately timed protein intake is an important component of an overall exercise training program, essential for proper recovery, immune function, and the growth and maintenance of lean body mass. 7) Under certain circumstances, specific amino acid supplements, such as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA's), may improve exercise performance and recovery from exercise.
