Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Recently, the ingestion of a carbohydrate-protein supplement after exercise has garnered considerable interest among both athletes and scientists. However, debate exists about whether the type of protein consumed, animal vs plant, affects exercise performance differently. Thus, it is the purpose of this dissertation to compare performance outcomes following carbohydrate (CHO)-plant or CHO-animal protein ingestion utilizing a variety of exercise conditions (acute bouts of aerobic exercise, 10 weeks of strength training and six weeks of concurrent training).
Study 1 demonstrated that following a glycogen depleting bout of cycling, dairy chocolate, soy chocolate, hemp chocolate or dairy milk ingestion all enhanced the …
