1. Usage of Whey and Casein Protein Supplements in a Strength and Endurance Training Program Frank Soto

2. Whey and casein are very popular supplements among professional and amateur athletes. They are both found in milk and possess anabolic and anti-catabolic capabilities, increasing protein synthesis. Together they are a potent combination, because whey is a fast-acting protein and casein is a slow-acting protein. Introduction

3. Studies done by various universities show a positive effect of Whey protein supplements on the nitrogen balance of the body. A body’s nitrogen balance is determined by the breaking of amino acids, which release as a waste product nitrogen. A body’s nitrogen balance can tell us the amount of catabolic reactions occurring in the body.

4. If these proteins possess anti-catabolic and anabolic capabilities, then we should be able to see an increase in muscle mass and resistance in an individual. Hypothesis

5. To find what kind of effects does these two proteins have in the body of an active individual. Determine the efficiency of protein supplements on athletes and weightlifters. Determine if the supplements have greater results using them only after exercise or before and after. Objective

6. I plan to use four groups of human test subjects in a 10 week training regimen. All subjects will be young active males 18-20 All must keep journals of their daily diet and recovery time Subjects

7. Exercise Plan All anaerobic exercises will be done in 3 sets of 10 reps with 60 to 30 sec. of rest Routine will be done in 2 week cycles, increasing weights by 7% one week and no increase one week. In intervals of three days a week

8. During the course of the investigation, a series of tests will be done to see the changes in a subject’s physical condition. These tests will be done every two weeks, after the first week. Then, the last test on the last week. Tests
