Emerging Science in Protein Metabolism in Exercise: Practical Messages for Athletes and “Mere†Mortals provides an overview of protein metabolism on a paradigm ranging from the cell level to the whole athlete/person. The DVD looks at the impact of protein in an athlete's diet on the adaptive responses to resistance training, including changes in body composition. The DVD also reviews the effect of protein on skeletal muscle reconditioning in older adults who engage in strength training. In addition, the DVD explores the possible adaptations that occur in cross-training athletes because of the interaction between their ingesting specific nutrients (i.e., protein) during their training regimen.
