Protein Requirements for Active Children

Sponsor: Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

There is reason to believe the current dietary reference intakes for dietary protein for children are too low. Furthermore, children with high levels of physical activity and fitness may require a higher requirement. To better understand the protein requirements in minimally and highly physically fit and active children 8-10 y old, investigators will use the indicator amino acid oxidation technique.
