Protein Requirements for Active Children (NCT04573439)

Children's Protein Requirements With Physical Activity: The ChiPP Study

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
