简要总结
Protein requirements in active individuals have been suggested to be greater than the current recommended dietary allowance (RDA).
Nutritional requirements for dietary amino acids in adolescents have traditionally been determined utilizing the nitrogen balance technique, which is prone to underestimating protein requirements. As a result, there is a need to re-evaluate recommendations in order to characterize how dietary amino acid needs may be modulated by physical activity.
Recent studies using the minimally invasive indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) technique have suggested that protein requirements in young men are at least 50% higher than the RDA based on nitrogen balance data.
The purpose of this study is to measure the protein requirement in adolescent, males using the IAAO technique in the presence of a variable intensity exercise stimulus.

研究组 & 干预措施
Active, Adolescent males
Subjects will receive different levels of amino acid intakes, varying from 0.2-2.67 g/kg/d
干预措施: Amino Acid Intake (Dietary Supplement)
结局指标
主要结局
13CO2 ([13]Carbon Dioxide) Excretion (µmol/kg/h)
时间窗: 4 hours per study day
Each trial day will assess a different protein intake with 13CO2 excretion defining the level of protein adequacy. Each trial day will be separated by \~1wk washout with all trial being completed in approximately 3 months.
次要结局
- [13C]Phenylalanine Oxidation (µmol/kg/h)(4 hours per study day)
