The powder protein is mostly used as the main dietary by bodybuilders for
improving exercise training. This research studied the effect of the powder
protein intake on serum total protein and creatinine concentrations, and urine
pH and protein of three different groups. The serum total protein concentration
has no relationship with the amount of powder protein intake and cannot be
affected by it. But the serum creatinine concentration has a direct relationship
with the amount of powder protein intake. The group A and B serum creatinine
concentrations in their blood were abnormal due to lack in the amount of
protein intake in their daily life and exercise. The group C used sufficient
amounts of powder protein 1.2 - 1.4 gm/Kg/day, which maintained their
creatinine concentration. This quantity of protein intake for bodybuilders is
not only safe, but also is improved the training adaptations in their excises
training. The urine tests indicated no significant differences (P < 0.01) between
their pH and at the same time the trace amount of protein in some of
individuals urine was observed.
