Whey Protein Supplementation in Physically Active Students

Sirutka je visoko vrijedan nusproizvod u tehnološkom procesu proizvodnje sira ili kazeina a koristi se, uz ostale namjene, za dobivanje proteina sirutke. Iako se oni mogu koristiti na više načina cilj ovog rada je dati pregled uporabe proteina sirutke kao dodatka prehrani u studentskoj populaciji koja prakticira neki od oblika treninga. Proteinski dodaci prehrani, naime, posebice su interesantni populaciji fizički aktivnih osoba (sportaša) koji ih koriste s ciljem poticanja rasta i održavanja mišićne mase. Uz pregled literaturnih spoznaja, rad će obuhvatiti i pregled realnih podataka o praksi upotrebe proteina sirutke i razlozima njihova uzimanja.Whey is highly valued by-product in the technological process of manufacturing cheese or casein and it is used, among other purposes, to obtain whey protein. Although whey protein can be used in several ways, the goal of this paper is to give a review of whey protein supplementation in physically active students.
