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.
Age (18-35)Individuals with BMI ranging from 18.5 kg/m2 to 30 kg/m2
participated in ≥5 training sessions/week
Individuals who have any known allergies especially whey
any recent history of illnesses, musculoskeletal problems, and metabolic diseases
