Choose ONE of the following three topics to form the basis of your literature review Topic 1: Protein in Male Weightlifters You have been asked to work with the elite male Victorian weight lifting team and have noticed the new coach telling his athletes to consume up to 4 g/kg/day of protein to build lean muscle mass and strength. As a committed group of athletes aiming to make the Australian team to compete at the Olympics, each of the athletes has been following the coach’s advice. You have raised the issue with the coach about the need for such a high amount of protein, but he wants you to present him with a review of the scientific literature as evidence to why he should change his recommendations. In your literature review, you decide to look at the following information that is relevant to your group of athletes: Background information: proposed mechanism and justification for protein intake to gain mass and strength in athletes A critique around the current protein recommendations for strength based athletes, including the timing of protein around training and over the day for muscle gains Known or potential negative side effects associated with excess protein intakes A summary of your recommendations regarding the protein intake for your athletes, including practical suggestions for how they can do this.
