About this trial

Objectives of study are:

* Examining the influence of nutrition education/counseling on overall dietary protein consumption. * Change in body composition parameters (body mass in kg, BMI kg/m2, fat mass(kg), fat free mass(kg), skeletal muscle mass(kg), percent body fat ) measured by InBody-270 analyzer over 5 weeks. * Change in maximal oxygen consumption assessed using the Rockport Fitness Test after 5 weeks of supplementation.

20 participants will be randomly assigned to whey or placebo (maltodextrin) group. Pre and post-analysis will be done for body composition, nutrition knowledge and dietary assessment and maximal oxygen consumption. Along with supplementation during week 2-6, individualized nutrition education with food logging will be provided with their programmed training. Changes in body composition (body mass in kg, BMI kg/m2, fat mass(kg), fat free mass(kg), skeletal muscle mass(kg), percent body fat) using In Body Composition Analyzer, maximal oxygen consumption using Rockport Fitness test (1 mile test), protein intake and nutrition knowledge using Nutrition for Sports Knowledge Questionnaire will be assessed.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • whey protein

    Dietary supplement

    10 out of 20 participants will be randomly added in this group after initial consent in which they will be fully informed about all benefits, risks, and discomforts of this investigation. Screening process will include (1) subjects of age 18-30 years of age; (2) subjects should be free of any recent history of illnesses, musculoskeletal problems, and metabolic diseases; (3) are not using any supplements and medications; and (5) participated in ≥5 training sessions/week.

  • maltodextrin

    Dietary supplement

    10 out of 20 participants will be randomly added in this group after initial consent in which they will be fully informed about all benefits, risks, and discomforts of this investigation. Screening process will include (1) subjects of age 18-30 years of age; (2) subjects should be free of any recent history of illnesses, musculoskeletal problems, and metabolic diseases; (3) are not using any supplements and medications; and (5) participated in ≥5 training sessions/week.

  • nutrition education

    Behavioral

    Nutrition for sports knowledge questionnaire will be used to assess the pre-nutrition education and post-nutrition education knowledge of athletes. Nutrition education will be given using evidence based nutrition education hand-outs and one-on-one counselling for each athlete in which they will be guided about sources of high biological value protein sources to meet daily protein requirement. Dietary intake will be monitored using 3 day food record method during 2-6 weeks of supplementation. Food logs will be filled out by participants during each weeks to monitor their protein intake. Three food logs (2 weekdays \[Mon-Thurs/Tue-Fri\] and 1 weekend day \[Sat/Sun\]) will be submitted by each subject every week.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in body composition parameters (% fat mass, % fat-free mass, BMI) measured by InBody-270 analyzer over 5 weeks

after 5 weeks of supplementation parameters like %fat-mass, %fat-free mass and BMI improve.

Time frame
5 weeks
2

Change in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) assessed using the Rockport Fitness Test after 5 weeks of supplementation

after 5 weeks of supplementation, maximal oxygen consumption will increase

Time frame
5 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in dietary protein intake measured by 24-hour dietary recall and 3-day food records over the 5-week intervention.

Time frame
5 weeks
